[edit] Recipe

Flapjack Recipe Also known as the common pancake (especially in Kewferry Drive, Northwood)

[edit] Ingredients

• Porridge (chopped rolled) oats 125 g
• Rolled oats 125 g
• Margarine 150 g
• Golden syrup 75 g
• Sugar 75 g

[edit] Equipment

• Oven
• Hob & saucepan (or microwave oven with microwaveable bowl)
• Knife
• chopstick
• wooden spoon or similar (to mix ingredients with)
• Pallet knife (to press into cake tin with)
• Scales & spoons (or just estimate)
• Square shallow baking tin about 20 cm sided
• Greaseproof paper.

[edit] Detailed Instructions for Chewy Flapjack

1. Put the margarine, sugar & golden syrup in saucepan (or microwaveable bowl if using a microwave oven) and heat until it is all liquid.
2. Meanwhile line the baking tin with greaseproof paper.
3. Mix all the oats into the liquid.
4. Put the mixture into the baking tin & press flat.
5. Bake at 175 deg C (Gas Mark 4) for 25 to 30 minutes. Warning: the timing is tolerant but accuracy in temperature is critical.
6. Slice into 8 fingers (by cutting into half along the perpendicular bisector of two sides and into quarters perpendicular to the first cut) before it sets but leave in place in tin.
7. Leave to cool and set.

[edit] Crunchy Flapjack

The recipe is identical to chewy version but cook at 15 deg (one Gas Mark) hotter.

[edit] Australian flapjacks

I have edited the paragraph re: Australia as it was kind of redundant, and the word 'flapjack' is known in Australia (certainly used in my family), although it's not widespread and reflects the American definition rather than the British. Natgoo 19:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] South African flapjacks

The entry regarding flapjacks in South Africa is incorrect. In South Africa it is similar to a pancake, however it's distinguishing factor is not a large diameter, but rather that it has a small diameter and is "thicker" than a pancake, whereas a pancake is quite large in diameter and almost paper-thin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.245.161.195 (talk) 17:10, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
