Grace's Nostalgic British Flapjacks

This week’s bake is a little taste of where Grace comes from.

These classic chewy British flapjacks were a staple of her childhood - simple, golden and buttery oat slices that still bring back memories of home. Grace made a batch for the Angel Delivery team this week as a way of sharing a little piece of her childhood with them.

Made with just a handful of everyday ingredients, they’re wonderfully easy to put together and perfect for filling the tins.

We hope they bring the same warmth and nostalgia to your kitchen too.

Ingredients

• 250g rolled oats
• 125g butter
• 125g golden syrup
• 100g light brown sugar
• Pinch of salt
• Dark chocolate (optional)

Method

Heat oven to 180degrees or 160 degrees fanbake, and grease and line a 20cm tin.

In a pan melt together the butter, syrup and sugar over a low heat until smooth.

Remove from the heat and stir in the oats until coated.

Press the mixture firmly into the tin, using a spoon to compact it down.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden at the edges. 

Optional: drizzle melted chocolate over the top.

Cool before cutting.
