Flapjacks

In most of the world, flapjacks are soft oat biscuits (or cookies). Except in North America and South Africa, where they look like Scotch Pancakes. This recipe is for British flapjacks. It's very easy, and the flapjacks are utterly delicious.

Make

Melt the butter into the sugar over a low heat. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the oats and the golden syrup. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicon mat or greaseproof paper, and spread the mixture out flat. Use something like a potato masher or cranked spatula to create an even layer about 6mm (quarter of an inch) thick.
