Flapjacks

Flapjacks are very easy and very quick. Popular at school bake sales around the country as busy mothers don't have time to make anything else. Therefore you are probably all familiar with them. If you are not, Google a more detailed recipe, sharpish!

So due to the mundane-ness of the flapjack, this shall be brief.

To make flapjacks you mix oats, melted butter, syrup and honey together- creating something like this...

mmmmmm oats 

Then you squidge them into a grease proofed tin with the back of a wooden spoon so the mixture is flat. This is then baked.

They are pretty dull to look at, so I tried to jazz them up a bit with a bit of melted chocolate drizzled on the top. Everything dull can be fixed with chocolate. 

This may be the worst photo I have ever taken in my life... 

So that was the humble flapjack- boring, simple and comforting.

We copied the design from The Birthday Cake Book by Fiona Cairns. This book is full of loads of other awesome recipes and you can buy it here  -->
