Super Easy Ginger Flapjacks
When I say these flapjacks are super easy to make I’m not kidding you. They are a simple matter of melting down the ingredients in a pan and then pouring it all out on to a baking sheet and shoving it in the oven. I like recipes like that, very little effort, lots of lip smacking satisfaction.
Super Easy Ginger Flapjacks
There is no getting away from it folks, these wee nibbles are sweet. Golden syrup and sugar is not for those trying to avoid sweet stuff. However sometimes we just need a bit of sweet comfort to get us through the day and these will certainly help.
Store cupboard basics
Most of these bits and bobs you should have lurking about. Butter, caster sugar (use granulated if no caster, lets not be too fussy here), golden syrup, oatmeal, ground ginger and the zest of an orange.
Method
Melt all ingredients in a nice big pan over a low heat and then pour into a greased and lined baking tray and shove it in the oven for about 35 minutes.
Voila! Easy Ginger Flapjacks. Cool, cut and eat.
Measurements
This makes quite a lot as they are so sweet a little goes a long way. Feel free to half the recipe and just make less. Less is more and all that. Really, is less more? All too complicated for my little brain.
I did this recipe originally for my cookbook Simply Scottish Cakes and Bakes. I had to be a tad fancier for that so drizzled over some basic icing just to make them look more fancy and good enough for the editor.
