Luxury Ginger Flapjack

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Gather the ingredients.

2. Step 2

   Butter a 23 x 33-centimeter / 9 x 13-inch baking tin. Line out the bottom with baking parchment.

3. Step 3

   Preheat the oven to 180 C/350 F/Gas 4

4. Step 4

   Place the golden syrup and the butter into a saucepan and heat very gently. The slower the better as you don't want to burn the syrup. Stir them together really well.

5. Step 5

   Put the oats into a large baking bowl, add the salt, and pour over the butter and syrup mixture. Stir this mixture really well, making sure the oats are well covered. 

6. Step 6

   Add the chopped stem ginger, the syrup, and the dried fruit, if using, and stir once again, this time to make sure the ginger is evenly distributed.

7. Step 7

   Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and spread using a spatula to make sure the surface is even.

8. Step 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven while the flapjack is still slightly soft.

9. Step 9

   Place the tin on a wire cooling rack and cut the flapjack into squares and leave in the tin until completely cold.
