YUMMY GOLDEN SYRUP FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the oats, butter, sugar and golden syrup in a food processor and pulse until mixed - be careful not to overmix or the oats may lose their texture.
• Lightly butter a 20 x 20cm baking tin and add the mixture. Press into the corners with the back of a spoon so the mixture is flat and score into 12 squares. Bake for around 15 mins until golden brown.

EASY FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2 and line a 20cm/8in square baking tin with baking paper.
• Melt the butter in a medium pan over a low heat. Dip a brush in the butter and brush the baking tin with a little bit of it. Add the golden syrup and sugar to the butter and heat gently. Once the sugar is dissolved and the butter is melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the porridge oats, lemon zest and ginger.
• Pack the mixture into the baking tin and squash down. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
• Once cooked, remove from the oven, leave to cool for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a chopping board and cut into squares.
• These flapjacks are delicious in a packed lunch or as a grab-and-go breakfast.

OLD FASHIONED FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Preheat griddle so that a drop of water beads when dropped on it.
• Combine dry ingredients.
• Combine wet ingredients and beat well. (Do this quickly as the butter will tend to set up when it hits the cold milk).
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.
• Mix but not too much. Batter will be slightly lumpy.
• Drop a couple tablespoons for each pancake onto hot griddle and cook until bubbles appear in batter and bottom is golden brown.
• Serve with real butter and real maple syrup.

YUKON SOURDOUGH FLAPJACKS (PANCAKES)

Steps:

• To proof your starter, feed it with equal amounts of flour and water (start with 1 cup of starter and at least 1 cup each of flour and water); cover and let sit overnight.
• Next morning, measure 2 cups of the proofed starter into a mixing bowl.
• Add egg, oil, sugar, and salt to the starter and mix briefly.
• Add enough flour to attain the desired consistency and mix until lump-free.
• Just before cooking the pancakes, dissolve baking soda in 1 Tbsp of warm water and gently blend into batter (See Note).
• Once baking soda is blended in, do not stir again.
• With a pitcher or ladle, pour 2 to 3-inch rounds on a hot (400 F) griddle.
• Cook 2 to 4 minutes, until bubbles form on surface.
• Turn and cook for an additional 2 minutes; serve hot.
• NOTE: If time permits, omit baking soda and stir 1 cup white flour and 1/2 cup of milk into batter.
• Proof, covered, for 1 hour at 85 degrees F, and then without stirring pour batter onto hot griddle--this will make pancakes extraordinary.
