Banana, Plum, Sultana & Apricot Buttery Flapjack
The buttery rolled-oat flapjack
The British flapjack dates back to the 17th Century and even Shakespeare was influenced to write of its oaty charm.

Our flapjack recipe is extra rich and flavourful due to the use of real butter and four different fruits.

Ingredients:
275g (10oz) rolled porridge oats
1 banana, peeled and thinly sliced
2 small plums, stoned and cut into small pieces
25g (1oz) dried apricots, chopped
25g (1oz) sultanas
225g (8oz) Anchor Lighter Spreadable
175g (7oz) Demerara sugar
75g (3oz) golden syrup

Method:
1. Mix together in a large bowl the oats, banana, plums, apricots and sultanas.
2. In a small saucepan place the butter, sugar and syrup and melt gently together.
3. Pour melted syrupy mixture into oats and stir together until all ingredients are well coated.
4. Spoon into a non-stick or greased and lined tin (30 × 20 × 21/2 cm tin) and flatten out mixture until smoothed into all the corners of the tray.
5. Place in a hot preheated oven at 160C / 325F / Gas Mark 3 for about 25 – 30 minutes until the mixture is golden brown.
6. Allow to cool a little and then cut into square while still warm – store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
