Whether it is the appeal of the make-do-and-mend culture that our grandmothers knew, the return to popularity of the humble cup cake, or the new trend for artists to use food as a medium for art such as the Cake Britain exhibition, there is no denying that baking is back. Three quarters of families with young children now bake together every month and one in four every week . This has inspired award winning cookery writer Lorna Rhodes to team up with Lyle’s Golden Syrup to show how parents can teach their children about baking. This delicious flapjack recipe is a perfect starting point for parents and children to begin theoir baking adventure together, safe in the knowledge that the results will taste great every time. By following some simple rules such as: lining the baking tin with paper; using salted butter; and always adding Lyle’s Golden Syrup the flapjack is a highly reliable recipe that will not result in tears before bedtime.

the flavour was 2nd to none, but - unfortunately i didn't used porridge oats, just the rolled oats. As i say they were delicious but fell apart, when i took them out of the baking tray. Does the porridge oats help to bind them rather than the rolled oats?

I used dried cranberries and blueberries or dried apricots and that works well and goes down a treat. I have also added sunflower and pumpkin seeds to the mix too.

Great recipe quick and easy to use. Would have been better if each step was in more of a bullet point form, as i could not see that you were meant to put it into a pan. Great easy to use recipe.
Thankyou ;)
