flapjacks only need 3 ingredients:
butter
oats
golden syrup
I slightly adjusted a website recipe to my tastes.
Firstly, preheat oven to gas mark 4
Then, melt 200g butter (unsalted), 200g brown sugar and 175g golden syrup (about 4 large spoons) until you have a liquid.
Then add 400g oats and/or choc chips/cherries/raisins.
Bake in a shallow baking tin for around 30 mins (to suit tastes - less if you like it gooey, more if you like it crispy!)
Everyone in my house loves it. If you don't have a particularly sweet tooth, you might not want to use so much brown sugar.

8 oz cheddar or similar cheese

Meanwhile, heat griddle or heavy skillet. Use about 1/4 cup batter for each flapjack. Cook until bubbles form on surface and edges become dry. Turn; cook 2 minutes longer or until nicely browned. Serve with whipped butter and warm maple syrup.

Flapjack Recipe both chewy and hard
Description
A simple to make oaty cake that is sweet, moist & chewy (or caramel flavoured, hard & crunchy).
Summary
Mix oats with melted margarine, golden syrup & sugar.
Bake.
Takes approximately: 5 min work, 25 min cooking, 60 min total.
Ingredients
Porridge (chopped rolled) oats 125 g
Rolled oats 125 g
Margarine 150 g
Golden syrup 75 g
Sugar 75 g
Equipment
Oven. Hob & saucepan (or microwave oven with microwaveable bowl). Knife, chopstick, wooden spoon or similar (to mix ingredients with). Pallet knife (to press into cake tin with). Scales & spoons (or just estimate). Square shallow baking tin about 20 cm sided. Greaseproof paper.
Detailed Instructions for Chewy Flapjack
Put the margarine, sugar & golden syrup in saucepan (or microwaveable bowl if using a microwave oven) and heat until it is all liquid.
Meanwhile line the baking tin with greaseproof paper.
Mix all the oats into the liquid.
Put the mixture into the baking tin & press flat.
Bake at 175 deg C (Gas Mark 4) for 25 to 30 minutes. Warning: the timing is tolerant but accuracy in temperature is critical.
Slice into 8 fingers (by cutting into half along the perpendicular bisector of two sides and into quarters perpendicular to the first cut) before it sets but leave in place in tin.
Leave to cool and set.
Crunchy Flapjack
The recipe is identical to chewy version but cook at 15 deg (one Gas Mark) hotter.
Fruit Flapjack
The recipe is identical to above but mix in some raisins and/or sultanas before baking (obviously).
Notes
The chewy and brittle versions can be make simultaneously from the same mix by baking them on different shelves in the same oven provided the oven does not have forced temperature equalisation (e.g. a fan oven) by utilising the temperature differences between shelves. In my gas oven, I can bake chewy flapjack on the middle shelve whilst baking brittle flapjack on the top shelf.
The rolled oats are not vital. Flapjack can be made from pure porridge oats but the texture is less interesting. however, pure rolled oats does not work well because the resulting cake is very fragile.
I have not calibrated my oven (I just relied on its thermostat) so please check your oven produces flapjack the way you like it and adjust the temperature accordingly before producing a big batch. My oven, being a gas one, reaches its final temperature quickly; if your is an electric one without a fan assist it will take far longer to warm up and save time & electricity by cooking as it warms up then the nominal settings may be very different.
This is a remarkably cheap cake because it can be made with no eggs, chocolate, fruit or alcohol.
