  2. Butter a 9"x 13"/23cm x 33cm Swiss roll tin and line the base with baking parchment.
  3. Place the syrup and butter into a large saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted into the syrup and stir well.
  4. Put the oats, nuts, ​and fruit into a roomy baking bowl, add a pinch of salt then pour over the butter and syrup mixture and stir to coat the oats.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and spread evenly to fill the tin making sure the surface is even.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven while the flapjack is still slightly soft, they will harden once cool.

    Followed the recipe, but was sceptical of the quanities and found the result to be a nice batch of .... granola! Too crumbly and dry for flapjack, but I'm having it on top of my muesli. Also tastes a lot less sweet than my mum's so next time I'll try more golden syrup. Alex
