  2. In a medium sauce pan over low-medium heat, combine the 125 g unsalted butter, 125 g brown sugar, and 3 Tbsp honey.
    Chef's Tip : The Brits use golden syrup instead of honey for the traditional, authentic caramel flavor! However, I chose honey for this recipe because it is a wonderfully natural, less processed sweetener that is easier to find at the local grocery store, and it gives the flapjacks a delicious floral sweetness.

The Baking

  2. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the center still looks slightly soft. Do not overbake, or they will become too hard.
    Chef's Tip : For a chewier flapjack, keep it under 20 minutes slightly. If you prefer a crunchier edge, bake them for 25 minutes.

The Serving

  1. Remove from the oven and let cool in the dish for 10 minutes. While still warm, use a sharp knife to score the flapjacks into 12 bars. Allow them to cool completely in the tin before removing.
