Biddys Flapjacks Recipes

BUDDY'S FLAPJACK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• Line a deep 20cm square baking tin with greaseproof paper and rub with olive oil.
• Pulse the butter, dried fruit and nuts, oats and flour in a food processor until the mix comes together and away from the sides, then pulse in the syrup until fully combined.
• Transfer to the lined tin, flattening to the edges. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden.
• Remove from the oven, slice into 16 squares ready to cut, and leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
• Use the paper to lift out on to a wire rack, and leave to cool completely. Simple, easy, delicious - spread the word!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
• Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium to medium-low heat.
• Whisk the butter into the milk mixture, add to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.
• Keeping the skillet at medium to medium low heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make one or two more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
