ali Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Lol ... I've got a touch of the Keith Flloyd ... pass the red wine. Did some pork chops off the masterchef website the other week and they were really nice ... Nige made brill stir fry in plum sauce off the back of a noodle packet tonight ... lack of convenience food here means more making it from scratch .. have to say you can tell the difference when you make the effort;.

Guest Gollywobbler Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I left my cookbooks in the UK so used he internet to make Flapjack on two occasions and both times they did not bind it was like cereal!Anyine with a good recipe :wub:?? Hi there I've never made flapjacks.....which is ridiculous when you think how much they cost to buy compared to how simple they are to make. I love flapjacks and I keep porridge oats at home but I never do any baking so I don't have golden syrup in the cupboard. I'd probably make a total mess of flapjacks though I have it in mind to have a go at making a cheesecake sometime. Apparently St Delia tests her draft recipes endlessly at her end - she gets her staff to try them and then there is an army of Mrs Bloggses who receive the draft recipes and test them etc. Between them, St Delia's Apostles do get rid of any glitches before a recipe is published, so I am told. I've found a St Delia recipe for flapjacks here: Whole Oat Flapjacks - Oats - Recipes - from Delia Online I must admit, I'm not convinced that she is using enough golden syrup. I reckon that you might have to double the amount of golden syrup at least if you don't want the flapjacks to be dry, crumbly biscuits or simply slightly sticky cereal.

ozzbound Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 Thanks for the recipes Gollywobbler i too am convinced that not enough syrup is used - not that i am a good cook or anything but the previous times it said 4 tbsp of syrup and ended up not binding so might double it and just see what happens! I did find that Woolworths/Safeway are now selling cakes and flapjack in catering size portions similar to the way Costco sell theirs in the UK... but they wanted $9.99 for 24 bitesize pieces of Flapjack :err: I am TRYING to bake more, not through choice but due to lack of choice of cakes in supermarkets :wink: Will have a go with Delia tomorrow and let you know how i get on x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzbound Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 I've had about 4 goes and finally got the Delia one right! The recipe says 4oz of butter which is too greasy for us so have reduced it but its now delicious!! Thanks for that xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNMACMD Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Must be catching, I have been baking bran loafs, banana bread (nut free) and my son thinks its wonderful wanting to save the bananas until they go brown so he can have more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
