Flapjack Baked Plums Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the plums into a bowl. Toss with the spice, 50g of the sugar and a small pinch of salt, then set aside to macerate.
• Gently melt the butter in a saucepan. In a large bowl, mix the oats, flour, walnut pieces and remaining sugar together, making sure there are no lumps of sugar, then stir in the butter and golden syrup until everything is combined into a loose flapjack mixture.
• Grease a square baking tin about 20 x 20cm. Press half the oaty mix over the base of the tin, then tip over the plums and spread to make an even layer. Press the remaining oats over the plums so they are completely covered right to the sides of the tin. Bake for 45-50 mins until dark golden and starting to crisp a little around the edges. Leave to cool completely, then cut into 18 little bars. Will keep in an airtight container for 2 days or can be frozen for up to a month.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat griddle so that a drop of water beads when dropped on it.
• Combine dry ingredients.
• Combine wet ingredients and beat well. (Do this quickly as the butter will tend to set up when it hits the cold milk).
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.
• Mix but not too much. Batter will be slightly lumpy.
• Drop a couple tablespoons for each pancake onto hot griddle and cook until bubbles appear in batter and bottom is golden brown.
• Serve with real butter and real maple syrup.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 8 x 8 x 2-inch metal baking pan. Combine first 3 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until butter melts, sugar dissolves, and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Add oats and salt; stir until coated. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and spread out in even layer.
• Bake until top is golden (edges will be darker), about 25 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 5 minutes. Cut into 4 squares; cut each into 4 triangles (mixture will still be soft). Cool completely in pan before serving.
• A type of syrup popular in Great Britain; available at some supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and British import shops.
