Cakey flapjacks

Don't get me wrong - they're still pretty solid - but these are slightly more cakey than your average flapjack.

Makes lots (at least 16). You'll need:

175g light brown sugar
150g butter
3 tablespoons golden syrup
1 teaspoon bicarb of soda
200g plain flour
200g oats
a good handful of raisins

Stick the oven on at about 180 degrees C, and line a tray/dish with greaseproof paper. The size of the dish will depend on how deep you want your flapjack to be - you could even do this on a baking tray.

Sling the butter, sugar, golden syrup and bicarb in a saucepan, and put on a low heat. They'll melt and look an unholy mess - give it a good stir, and don't worry about it. Add the flour, oats and raisins, and stir until well mixed.

Tip into your dish/tray, level it all out, and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until it's turned golden brown. Leave to cool in the tin - but do remember to divide it into slices, as it's pretty solid once it's cooled down.
