• note: if you are using raisons in your recipe, you might like to cook the flapjack for a shorter time, or for a longer time at a lower temperature, because raisins can burn and expand with the heat.
• once you take the flapjack out, you should cut it before it cools completely because it will harden.
• if youre impatient, eat some warm (if you havent already!) but flapjack is just as delicious chilled.
