Orange Scented Flapjacks

These universally famous sticky oat biscuits made sweet and scrumptious with Whitworths Light Brown Soft Sugar will be so popular that you won’t see them for crumbs.


Equipment & Ingredients

175g (6oz) butter
175g (6oz) Whitworths Light Brown Soft Sugar
4 tbls clear runny honey
85g (3oz) finely chopped candied orange peel
350g (12oz) rolled jumbo oats


Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas mark 4. Lightly grease and line the base of a 20 x 30cm (12" x 8"), 2.5cm (1") deep , baking tin with non-stick baking parchment.

Gently melt the butter, sugar and honey together and stir in the candied peel. When thoroughly mixed, add the oats, stirring well. Tip the flapjack mixture into the prepared tin, pressing into the corners and levelling the surface. Bake for 20 minutes. While the biscuits are still warm, mark into triangles or squares. Cut with a sharp knife and eat tepid, or cold.


Tip

The joy of making home baked flapjacks is that you can eat them freshly baked and still slightly warm from the oven when they taste heavenly and infinitely better than the over-stored commercial bakes.

To keep their sticky chewy texture as fresh as possible, wrap each biscuit in a piece of greaseproof paper and store them in an air-tight container for several days or more.
