Get Cooking
Brought to you by P&O Cruises Food Heroes. Celebrity chef Eric Lanlard – also known as Cake Boy – shows First News how to make traditional flapjacks, but with a festive twist. Eric’s tip: a little pinch of salt brings all the flavours together.
Ingredients
- 200g unsalted butter
- 3.5 tbsp golden syrup
- 160g dark muscovado sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 450g rolled oats
- Bowl of dried fruit
- Festive decorations
Method
- Use a spatula to add 200g of unsalted butter (chunks) into the pan
- Add 3.5 tbsp of golden syrup into the pan, as well as dark muscovado sugar.
- Add a pinch of salt to the pan. Finally, add 2 tsp of ground cinnamon.
- Melt the mix on a high heat and mix with your spatula and let the butter boil for a couple of minutes.
- Take the saucepan off the heat and add 450g of rolled oats. Continue to mix.
- Add your dried fruit to the mix and continue to stir.
- Once it’s all mixed nicely, transfer it into a flat baking tray and flatten it out so that it’s nice and level.
- Put it in the oven for 15 minutes at 180°C.
- Take it out of the oven and cut it into squares.
- To make them extra festive, why not add melted white chocolate and edible decorations to them?
