Afternoon Tea- Flapjacks

Today I want to share with you my first "Afternoon tea" recipe.
This recipe is so easy, and I hope fail proof! A batch can quickly be thrown together ready for an afternoon catching up with friends, or to take on a summers picnic. 

In the step by step pictures you might notice that the quantities look smaller than the ones you'll have in your own pan and that's because for the purpose of trying to be slightly healthy I just made half a batch (Which still works really well!) 



Makes 12 flapjacks.

Ingredients-
175g Unsalted Butter
175g Light brown soft Sugar
175g Golden Syrup
350g Porridge Oats

Method-
1) Preheat your oven to 150C and line a baking tin (About 8 inches square- But a little larger won't matter) with greaseproof paper, or grease the sides with a little bit of butter
2) Melt the butter in a pan on a low heat with the sugar and golden syrup- heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. (Tip- if you run a metal spoon under hot water before spooning out your golden syrup it will come off the spoon much easier.)
3) Remove the pan from the heat, add the oats and stir together until all of the oats are coated in the melted butter mixture.
4) Tip the mixture out into your tin and press down- Making sure to get it into the edges
5) Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
6) Once baked remove from the oven and leave it to cool in the tin, before cutting and serving.
