Tips For Perfect Flapjacks

  • I would suggest using quick cook oats, however if old style is all you have, reduce the size down to two cups, and increase the golden syrup to six tablespoons.
  • Can’t locate golden syrup? Use darkish corn syrup in its place.
  • When melting the butter and sugar together cook over low heat. Higher heat can turn out to be difficult and taffy-like.
  • To keep away from a greasy flapjack, blend the butter and sugar mixture nicely till you spot no sign of melted butter.
  • When baking, watch carefully and remove from the oven whilst the edges are golden. Overcooking can also additionally bring about a hard, crunchy flapjack.
  • For a crisper flapjack, use a shallower baking pan and bake at a better temperature.
