100 g butter

100 g soft brown sugar

75 g golden syrup

Melt the butter, sugar and syrup in a saucepan, stirring continuously.
Add the rolled oats and stir until they are coated well.
Turn into a shallow, greased, 20 cm tin and smooth the top with a palette knife.
Bake in a moderately hot oven (180oC/350oF/Gas Mark 4) for approximately 20 minutes, until the flapjack is golden brown.

When the flapjack is completely cold, cut into pieces along the marked lines.
