Pecan Flapjack

Tasty tasty flapjacks

So for this you need worrying amounts of butter, sugar and golden syrup. But it's ok it's flapjack, that junk is healthy right?

Makes enough mix for a 20x20x5cm tin or one person.
500g Oats
250g Butter
250g Dark brown sugar - the darker the better
4 tablespoons golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
100g Pecan nuts

The trick to this flapjack is that it does not taste overly sweet. If you get the quantity of nutmeg right then what you end up with is an amazing mouth experience. Pair with a quality cup of strong Breakfast Tea and the perfect snack is made.

Step 1.
Melt butter, sugar, and syrup in a large pan, I'm talking large pan. Make sure there's room for all those oats. Switch on oven, 160 should do it.

Step 2.
While that's all melting crush your nuts. Take them down a couple of sizes, the sizes that you will inevitably put on after eating the entire batch.

Step 3.
Once the syrup butter mix is fully melted gradually stir in the oats and the nuts. Once all in keep stirring it a little bit, turn out the mix into a deep baking tin.

Step 4
Put the tin into the oven. The tin should contain the syrup-butter-oat mixture, if it doesn't then you are wasting your time reading this bit. In fact even if it does this whole bit is a waste of time. So once you have read this it should be ready, either that or wait like 20 minutes until the top is nice and golden. Be warned it should still soft to the touch, it will firm up as it cools.

Step 5
Put that kettle on and eat that flapjack.
