Ingredients

  • 110 g (½ cup or 4 oz) light brown sugar
  • 175 g (1½ cups or 6 oz) butter
  • 1 dessert spoon golden syrup
  • 175 g (1½ cups or 6 oz) rolled oats

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F or Gas Mark 2).
  2. Place the sugar, butter, and golden syrup together in a medium saucepan and heat until the butter has melted.

  4. Press the mixture out over the base of a lightly-greased 7½-inch (19 cm) square baking tin.
  5. Bake in the centre of the oven for 40 minutes.
  6. When baked, allow to cool in the tin for 10–15 minutes before cutting into oblong bars.
  7. Leave until cold before removing the flapjacks from the tin, then store in an airtight container.
