Flapjack Bars

Hello chaps, terribly sorry for the utter negligence with which I have treated my blog just lately (shocking, I know) but rest assured that my reasons were at least somewhat justified- completely swamped with work being the main one. However now that I am posting I can inform of a lovely little recipe for these flapjack snack bars. I can also now say that I'm the proud owner of a shiny new pair of roller skates. A bit of a foolish purchase as I live in a hilly area and can't skate, but never mind eh? In other news I've decided to try and improve my (frankly fairly bad) photography skills by taking at least one photo a day, so hopefully I will one day be able to take a decent picture. But granted it's a long shot...

Still, on with the recipe

Ingredients
100g demerara sugar
100g butter
3 tbsp golden syrup
175g porridge oats
1tsp baking powder
1 beaten egg
1 tsp ground ginger
75g sultans
75g almonds
300g chocolate

Flapjack Bars:



• Line and grease a shallow tin 
• Melt together butter sugar and syrup
• Remove from the heat and stir in the oats, baking powder, ginger, egg, sultans and almonds
• press into the tins and bake at 180oc/ gas mark 4
• Leave to cool, then melt the chocolate and spread over the top. Let it set in the fridge
• Finally cut it into bars which can then be wrapped in greaseproof paper to be transported. (Don't worry if its crumbly to start with, after a few hours it will stick together better)
