Lemon Drizzle Flapjacks Recipes

LEMON DRIZZLE FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 20 x 20 cm tin with baking parchment. Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan until bubbling. Tip in the oats and stir until everything is well coated. Press ¾ into the tin, spread over the lemon curd then sprinkle over the remaining flapjack mix. Bake for 30 mins then leave to cool.
• Mix the icing sugar with the lemon juice then drizzle across the cooled flapjack and cut into 12 pieces.

BEST EVER LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Measure ingredients into bowls. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
• Combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy and pale. Add 1 egg at a time, beating until the batter returns to a uniform pale color before adding the next. Sift in flour gradually. Fold with a wooden spoon to be sure flour is combined. Add baking powder and lemon zest.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan, being careful not to press it down.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Try not to open the oven door early to avoid collapsing the fluffy cake.
• Juice the zested lemon into a small bowl. Add the zest and juice of the second lemon. Stir in 7 tablespoons sugar until dissolved. Pour glaze over the warm cake and leave to cool in the pan; glaze will harden as the cake cools.

• Heat a large griddle or nonstick pan over medium-low heat and add 3/4 cup batter. Cook until pancake is golden brown and the center is cooked, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Stack 3 pancakes per plate and top with a generous amount of butter. Serve with lots of Maine maple syrup.

LEMON DRIZZLE LOAF CAKE

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a 1-pound loaf tin with parchment paper.
• Beat butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift flour and baking powder together and fold into the batter until well blended. Add lemon zest and juice and mix well. Spoon batter into the prepared loaf tin and level the top with a knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cake begins to turn golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place tin on a wire rack.
• Mix together powdered sugar and lemon juice for the lemon glaze in a small bowl.
• Drizzle glaze all over the top of the warm cake while it is still in the pan. Allow to cool completely, about 1 hour before removing from the pan and slicing into 8 pieces.
