Strange, I'd always considered flapjack a sweet and not a savoury, shame it contains egg however as I would have given them a go (Allergy to egg). Maybe could use applesauce or some kind of starch instead of egg if all it's used for is to bind ;3

 

[Headgardener]

My flapjack recipe is as follows

6oz of butter
6oz of demerara sugar
12oz of rolled oats

Melt the butter in a pan over a low heat then add the sugar and stir until the sugar has melted. Take off the heat and add the oats, stir well. Press into a oblong baking tin and cook at 150c for about forty minutes. Leave to cool in tin for about fifteen minutes then cut into slices. Remove from tin after a futher ten minutes onto a rack to finish cooling.

Pretty basic I know but I like them.


P.S. No eggs were harmed in the making of these flapjacks.

I reckon you could use butter instead, as in sweet flapjacks, might need some experimentation.

I'd never had savoury flapjack until I tried CL's. Lovely. Unusual, but tasty. You know the cheesy crust you get on cheese topped rolls? Well, they taste like that, only with the substance of oats.

Sweet flapjack you never add egg, that was the point I was making in that I've never had savoury flapjack and noticed that two recipes of savoury flapjack contained egg.

I see the "savoury alternative to flapjacks" thing hasn't grabbed you. Not that it's the whole point of the thread, or anything...

I was wondering about adding some chilli and cumin seeds or summat like, waddayarec?

I'm sure that would work well, with a bit of experimentation.

I guess anything you could chuck into a bread mix, you could put in flapjack.

This thread's getting a bit haute cuisine.

This thread's getting a bit haute cuisine.

My baked beans-from-tins thread, ended up with the middle-classes describing how makng your own is so much healthier, doncha know.

It's the bleedin' demographic of cycling, innit?

As long as no one starts adding sun-dried tomatoes or balsamic vinegar...

Let's not get carried away folks, bunging chilli in stuff is 'as nature intended' - balsamic vinegar is vile and not even worthy of being flushed down the khazi.

I must try this savoury recipe and try to get my head round the concept!

To me, flapjacks are sweet, hence the thought of cheese in/on a flapjack makes me think, "eeeewwww, nasty, nasty, yucky, vomit, vomit, vomit!"

I'm sure it's not though.

It just depends if you like the taste of toasted cheese - like I said, it's a similar flavour to the crusty stuff on top of cheese topped rolls. Often creates conversation, but usually devoured once people are used to the idea.

My thought is that it's not so much different to cheese on oatcakes, but all-in-one and toasty. Crepes seem to have no problem adapting to sweet and savoury roles, after all.

Just out of the oven, waiting to be hacked up.

Edit: Now cut up on the cooling rack - restraint required to prevent tucking in.

Edit again: Gnnnnnnnnnn.....

Edit yet again: Gasp drool!
