Gorgeous Golden Gooey Goodie Flapjack

With easter approaching I wanted to give my family something homemade. As my dad is staying at my house over easter looking after the cats I felt I had to make something special. I chose to make a flapjack for many reasons such as it is his favourite, it is cheap, it is quick and really easy to make. I made my first flapjack in secondary school and have since been tweaking the ingredients to get it just right and gooey.

Serves: 8
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Oven temp: 108°c/ 356°/ Gas mark 4

Ingredients:
250g Porridge oats
125g Butter
125g Brown sugar; demerara works best
3-4 tbsp Golden syrup; depending on how gooey you want the flapjack

Cookware:
Kitchen scales
Saucepan
Wooden spoon
Baking tin

Instructions

-Preheat the oven
-Grease the baking tin
-Place the butter, sugar and syrup in a saucepan on a slow heat and keep stirring until the butter has melted and created a golden syrup mixture

-Remove the pan from the heat and add a small amount porridge oats
-Mix together so the oats are covered in the syrup mixture then keep adding a small amount of oats until it is all mixed together

-Pour the mixture into the pre-greased baking tin 

-Put in the oven for 20 minutes or until a dark golden colour

-Take the tin out of the oven and let the flapjack cool

Then devour a piece of golden gooey heaven; preferably with your favourite film.
