Tips for Making Perfect Flapjacks
Here are some tips to help you make perfect flapjacks every time:Use the right oats: Rolled oats are the best type of oats to use for flapjacks. Do not use instant oats or steel-cut oats.
Don’t overmix: When you add the oats to the melted butter and golden syrup, be careful not to overmix the ingredients. Overmixing can make the flapjacks tough.
Line your tin: Always line your baking tin with parchment paper to prevent the flapjacks from sticking.
Cut the flapjacks when they’re warm: Cutting the flapjacks when they’re warm makes it easier to cut them into neat squares or rectangles. However, be careful not to burn yourself.
Allow to cool completely: It’s important to allow the flapjacks to cool completely before removing them from the tin. This helps them to set and hold their shape.
