Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Errata from UK edition: "50g golden syrup" should read "150g golden syrup". The flapjacks should be allowed to cool in the tin before cutting. Errata from US edition: Ingredients should include 4 and a half cups rolled oats and half cup light corn syrup.

    I would sum this up as taste is good but texture is lacking. I am in the US cooking from the UK edition and despite using the correct amount of golden syrup (150g) these always turn out dry and crumble when I cut them. I eat it like dessert granola. Have tried rolled oats and quick-cooking. Didn't make a difference. I am chasing a memory of the one flapjack I ever ate while on vacation. Like Ro_ I too would like them to be gooier and squidgier. I'll keep looking.

    I was very grateful that I read the note on here that pointed out the printing error in the book (should be 150g golden syrup, not 50g) because otherwise I'd have blindly followed what was written. Thank you very much to that note-leaver. These flapjacks were nice, but not the best ever. Slightly too dry/biscuity, I'd have liked them to be a bit gooier and squidgier, and hold together slightly better. I drizzled some melted chocolate on top, just because I'm a chocaholic.
