Rifty's Flapjack

Until someone else contributes to the website, you're stuck with my ramblings - let this be a lesson to you all :-)

Over the last decade, I've fostered and refined a flapjack recipe which has kept me (and others) alive in some extreme conditions : I always have some on me when out on the bike...

Ingredients

• 500g porridge oats

• 250g margerine

• 120g brown sugar

• 4 tablespoons golden syrup

• One (flat) teaspoon salt

• One (flat) teaspoon ground cinnamon

• As many chopped glace cherries as the mixture will hold

Cooking instructions

• Turn on oven to gas mark 4 or 180 degrees

• Toast half of the oats until golden brown

• Melt everything but the oats together

• Stir in all the oats (toasted and non-toasted)

• Pour mixture into a greased tin

• Cook for 10-15 minutes

• When cooled, cut into squares, enjoy in the middle of nowhere

Warning : this recipe may contain more than a few traces of energy...
