Flapjack & coffee

I made flajacks a hundred times in my 20's, it always came out crunchy and I tried so many different recipes and alterations to try and make them chewy and it never worked. This was before the Internet was much of a thing.

One day I read a recipe, some time in the last decade, that explained for chewy flapjacks, you just cook em at a lower temperature and for a shorter time. Duh!

So I made some, and they were chewy not crunchy, but still didn't really hit the spot. Not quite chewy enough, flavour not quite right either.

Decided to make some with Maple syrup instead of golden syrup, and as per the comments section on this recipe, I subbed 3 tbsps of the syrup for condensed milk, as someone said that makes mlem nice n chewy. And huzzah, now I can make them the way I like them. Also I stored them in the fridge, not just ambient temperature in a tin.

I like them a lot! Still got room for improvement.... not sure what my next try will be

Only thing is she says to use instant oat flakes as well as jumbo rolled oats. I haven't found anything in the supermarket called instant oats. And I didn't notice it said I should use jumbo rolled oats either, so I've just used rolled oats. I'll keep looking for instant oats tho

@Teasel The way “stuffing” forms such a glossy form to the pan? Zero egg. “Just” bread & herbs/seasonings, plus water/stock… means I’ve used it to make “hard boiled egg” substitute.

It doesn’t bind anything for schiesse. That needs complex protein chains. But? It creates a texture DELIGHT. In the mouth.

I can use the WHITEST of bread, soaked in water/broth/stock, and MOLDED to glossy, to create a hard boiled egg experience. But? It’s just that. An experience in the mouth.

Ordered Chicken cashew with rice and soup. Drank water

Burnt croissant - couldn't be bothered to look up cooking instructions
Coffee

Beef & Peppers … kinda like a Philly cheese stake minus the bread.

Not because I didn’t have bread (for once! I did), but just because I couldn’t be arsed.

Why my make ahead works and binds so well.....

Fish, tater tots, green beans, Ginger Ale.

A cup of decaf tea with milk
