Flapjacks

175g / 6oz butter
125g / 4oz Demerara sugar
50g/20z honey
225g/8oz rolled / porridge oats (not oatmeal)

Preheat the oven to Mark 5 / 109C/375F and line a 20.5cm/8in tin with Bakewell.
Put the butter, sugar, and honey into a heavy based pan and heat until sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the oats, stirring until well coated. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and push down quite firmly with the back of the spoon.

Bake in the centre of the oven for 30 mins until golden brown. Remove from the oven, cut into 12 bars (whilst still warm) and leave to cool in the tin.

Stores in an airtight tin for 1 week, or wrap in greaseproof paper and freeze for 3 months.
