I decided to make my own flapjacks tonight, followed the recipe to the letter but they have turned out a little dry, any ideas?
recipe was:
300g oats
200g unsalted butter
6 tablespoons of golden syrup
pinch of salt
melted the butter into the syrup in a pan, then poured it over the oats and mixed together. then into the over for 25mins at 180c.
it said to take out when it was still a little soft, but having never them before i didn't know how soft it should be, so i ended up leaving them in there a little longer as i thought they were still a bit too soft.
however, once cooled they have gone quite hard. they look good, crispy on the outside, but a bit dry and they crumble apart in the middle.
have i just baked them for too long? should i use more syrup? i much prefer them when they are chewy rather than crunchy.
