Flapjacks
I've been making flapjacks for a while now but never quite cracked the recipe - sometimes they were too flaky, sometimes too hard, sometimes too sweet, sometimes not sweet enough. Today I got it just about right...
2 and 2/3 cups oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
100g butter
100g(ish) honey
Chop the butter into cubes, put everything in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Then stir until everything is combined, and flatten into a tray lined with greaseproof paper. Bake on 180C for 12 minutes, then turn down to 150C for a further 5 mins. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
Obviously you can stir sultanas / cherries / cranberries / other fruit into the mixture before baking if desired!
Team GB are pulling up trees at the olympics... but whether you're from the USA or Uzbekistan, whether you're winning races or limping in last, just the fact that you're there means you can be proud of yourself. You might not be happy unless you're number 1, but sometimes it's good to take a step back and reflect on how far you've come. Wayne Coyne knows that, and he also knows it's not only true for athletes.
