Coffee Break


There is nothing better than sitting with a mug of coffee and a Flapjack from the cookie jar. I love making flapjacks, such a simple recipe to fill up the  jar.  My son called them jackflaps and whilst still warm is a real luxury. Leave near the coffee and you are forever dipping your hand in the jar.

Flapjacks
125g muscovado sugar
125g butter
2 tabsp. golden syrup
175g oats

Method
Preheat the oven to 190C/ Gas 5
Line a tray with baking parchment - I use a Swiss roll tray
Place sugar, butter and syrup into a large saucepan
Place on the heat until all the butter and sugar are melted, stirring with a wooden spoon
Add the oats and mix well
Pour into the tray and level with the back of a spoon
Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting into fingers or squares.
Leave in the tray until completely cold

Variations
When adding the oats you can also add a handful of sultanas, or coconut, or cranberries.
Once cold you could even pour over some melted chocolate

However for me, just a plain jackflap with a mug of coffee
