How To Make irish flapjacks
-
1Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
-
2Melt butter in a large sauce pan.
-
3Add golden syrup or substitute, spices and both sugars. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes to infuse the spices. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
4In a large mixing bowl combine the oats, flour and salt.
-
5Add the butter/sugar mixture to the dry mixture. Stir well and spread into a parchment-lined Pyrex baking dish or similar approximately 10 x 15" (25 x 38cm).
-
6Bake in the oven on a middle shelf for approximately 35-40 minutes or until golden. The original recipe indicated a baking time of 20-25 minutes but that was not long enough for the bars to brown.
-
7Remove baking dish from oven and set aside to cool 10-15 or until firm enough to slice. Cut into squares then carefully lift the parchment paper out of the pan. Place the bars on a wire rack to cool completely. Store in a container with a tight fitting lid.
