with a fairly stiff dough.
3. Rub some oats on to a surface suitable for rolling out the dough (to stop it sticking).
4. Turn out the dough, then form it into a ball.
5. Next, roll it out to around 1/4 inch thick.
6. Cut it into shapes - triangles are more traditional, but any shape will do!

7 Apricot and Raisin Flapjacks
Ingredients
8 oz porridge oats
4 oz butter
2 oz rice flour
2 fl oz rice syrup
10 oz dried apricots
2 oz raisins
Method
1. About one hour before you start, soak the dried apricots in warm water or apple
juice to soften them.
2. Preheat the oven to 350?F (180?C).
3. Over a low heat, melt the butter. Then stir in the rice syrup and mix well. 4
. Next, stir in the oats, rice flour, and raisins. Mix together thoroughly. The mixture
should be moist enough to 'clump' together, but should not be runny at all. If it is, just
add more oats, a little at a time.
5. Chop the pre-soaked apricots finely.
6. Press half the oat mixture into a greased baking pan, then top with the chopped
apricots.
7. Put the rest of the oats on top and flatten thoroughly with the palms of your hands.
8. Bake for 25 mins, until firm and golden.
9. Slice into fingers when still hot, but don't try to remove the flapjacks from the pan
until they've cooled down!
