Basic Flapjacks
Flapjacks in the United Kingdom (not to be confused with the American pancakes also called flapjacks) are a type of bar made using rolled oats, butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup. They're great for packed lunches and the like. This is a simple version with no fruit or raisins added. Try serving with whipped cream or with melted chocolate to dip.
