The best flapjack recipe in the whole wide world

Due to the advent of a picnic in a park and my never-ending attempts to reduce the amount of porridge oats that have accidentally accumulated over time, I thought I might as well practice making some super-tasty flapjacks.

I've never made flapjacks before, but I've heard that it's often thought that adding more syrup makes for a gooier flapjack. I've also heard that this isn't the case, and in fact adding more butter makes it gooier.

I can see the logic that more syrup could would equate to a hard flapjack. So, I figured I might as well search on Google for 'the best flapjack recipe in the whole wide world', that way I couldn't go wrong.

As expected Google didn't let me down and the first result was for this brilliant, and brilliantly simple recipe: The Best Flapjack Recipe in the Whole Wide World

Just take a look for yourself! How many flapjacks do you know that can be cut into slices like a cake without either the knife not penetrating the mixture at all, because it's way too hard, or it all crumbling to bits because it's too soft!

(If you're wondering what the layer in the middle is - it's dates, mmm)

I would like to bake this, but I am worried that I wouldn't be able to stop, I'd run to fat and all my teeth would fall out.. oh never mind that, where are my oats?
