Mary Berry Flapjacks Ingredients

• 225g (8oz) butter
• 225g (8oz) demerara sugar
• 75g (3oz) golden syrup
• 275g (10oz) traditional porridge oats
• 8 ready-to-eat dried apricots, snipped into small pieces

How To Make Mary Berry Flapjacks

1. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 160°C/140°C Fan/Gas 3 (325°F). Line a 23cm (9in) square tin with non-stick baking paper.
2. Melt Ingredients: In a saucepan, melt the butter, demerara sugar, and golden syrup over low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Combine Mixture: Remove from heat, stir in the oats and apricots until well mixed.
4. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, pressing it flat with the back of a spoon. Bake for 30–35 minutes until evenly pale golden brown.
5. Cool and Slice: Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then score into 16 squares with a small sharp knife. Allow to cool completely in the tin.

Recipe Tips

• Grease the Tin: Line the tin with non-stick baking paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
• Press Mixture Firmly: Press the flapjack mixture down firmly in the tin to get a dense, chewy texture.
• Cool Before Cutting: Let the flapjacks cool in the tin for 10 minutes before scoring them into squares to prevent them from breaking.
• Adjust Baking Time: Check the flapjacks towards the end of the baking time; they should be evenly golden brown but not too dark to avoid a burnt taste.
