How do u make flapjacks not crumble once they're cooled down?
The Other day when i made some flapjacks they just all crumbled once they were cooled down.
Answers:
Me thinks you need to use more syrup upon creating your flapjacks.
I get round this problem by using hairspray as a fixing agent. The other technique is to add some pritstick to the mixture before cooking.
you use the recipe for flapjacks
and not the recipe for crumble
or put them on a cooling rack
You need to change your receipe.
Well I'm no expert on them...but i think it has to do with the amount of honey/maple syrup you put in them.....or what ever it is that you used instead.
Did you use treacle? You need lots of it.
Pack all the mixture together in the tin really tight, and then put it in the fridge to set, which makes it not crumble.
Use this recipe:
Ingredients:
200g margarine
100g demerara sugar
200g golden syrup
400g rolled oats (make sutre they are porridge oats and not jumbo oats)
1. Switch on the oven at 180°c, Gas mark 4.
2. Line a tin 16 x 28cm with non stick baking parchment.
3.Measure the margarine, sugar and golden syrup into a saucepan, and melt them together gently over a medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon. Do not let the mixture boil.
4. Add the oats and stir well. Press into the prepared flapjack tin and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
5. Cut into rectangles whilst still warm. Cool in the tin then break into the marked fingers.
This should work. Good luck!
