Experiment with sauces: While hot fudge sauce is always a winner, don’t be shy about trying other sauces. Caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or a tangy raspberry drizzle can take your sundae in a whole new direction.

Toppings galore: Go wild with the toppings. Crumble some homemade brownies on top, sprinkle on colourful sprinkles, or add chocolate chips. The more the merrier!

Ice cream mix-up: While vanilla ice cream is a classic, feel free to get creative with your flavours. Try chocolate, strawberry, or even something funky, like mint chocolate chip.

You might wonder why we insist on adding Lyle’s Golden Syrup to your biscuits. The syrup’s golden hue is a promise of the deLUSHious taste that awaits. It adds a unique, slightly caramelised sweetness that sugar alone just can’t deliver. Plus, it keeps your biscuits wonderfully moist and chewy. Trust us on this, once you’ve tried it, there’s no going back!

Baking the perfect golden syrup biscuits involves a few simple but crucial steps. Here are some fresh tips to ensure your biscuits turn out just right every time:

Make sure your butter is soft but not melted. It should be at room temperature so it creams well with the sugar.

Line your baking trays with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. Alternatively, you can swap parchment paper for silicone baking mats. They provide even heat distribution and prevent your biscuits from sticking.

Use a kitchen scale for precision. Baking is a science, and the right ratios make all the difference.

When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix until everything comes together. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.

Use cutters for your biscuits to ensure they’re all the same size. This helps them bake evenly and look more professional.

Halfway through baking, rotate your baking trays. This helps achieve an even golden-brown colour, especially if your oven has hot spots.

Roll your dough to an even thickness. If some biscuits are thicker than others, they won’t bake evenly.

Enter ginger flapjacks – the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, ideal for those looking to mix things up and tantalise their taste buds with something a little different. Keep reading to learn all about these tasty treats!

Ginger is a powerhouse ingredient known for its distinctive, warming spice. Its unique flavour profile can transform a simple recipe into an indulgent treat.

Adding ginger to your flapjacks is a game-changer. The sweet, buttery oats are perfectly balanced by the zingy warmth of ginger, making every bite an explosion of flavour. It’s the ideal treat when you need something indulgent or simply when you want to enjoy a snack that’s a little out of the ordinary.

Ginger is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties and digestive benefits. Including it in your baking not only adds a delicious twist but also gives you a boost of these health perks.

There are several creative ways to add ginger to your flapjacks, each offering a unique flavour and texture:

• Ground ginger: This is the most straightforward method. Adding ground ginger to your oat mixture infuses every bite with a consistent, warming spice.

• Stem ginger: For a more intense and chewy ginger experience, add chopped stem ginger. This not only gives bursts of ginger flavour but also adds a delightful texture contrast.

• Fresh grated ginger: Fresh ginger offers a sharper, more vibrant ginger kick. Grate it finely to distribute the flavour evenly throughout the flapjacks.

For the best results, add your choice of ginger to the butter and golden syrup, then heat gently to melt the butter. After that, put the oats in and mix thoroughly before placing the mixture into a tin lined with baking parchment.

Experimenting with different types of ginger can also provide a layered flavour profile. For instance, combining ground ginger with fresh grated ginger can create a deep, rich spice that’s both warming and refreshing.

The zing of lemon and aromatic notes of ginger not only complement the sweetness of brown sugar and Lyle’s Golden Syrup—they also provide a refreshing twist that cuts through the richness of buttery flapjacks.

Don’t stop at ginger! Why not try incorporating other fun ingredients to give your flapjacks a twist? Think of adding a handful of chocolate chips, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a swirl of peanut butter.

Adding fruits like dried cranberries or apricots can also enhance the texture and flavour of your flapjacks. For a nutty crunch, consider mixing in some chopped nuts or seeds. The possibilities are endless and guaranteed to keep your flapjacks exciting and delicious.

• Roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface to until it’s about 3mm thick. Make sure it’s a consistent thickness all over as this will help the biscuits cook evenly.

• After shaping the dough, chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes, which will help the biscuits hold their iconic shape while baking.

• Don’t feel like you have to use raspberry jam. Experiment with different flavoured jams like strawberry, blackberry, cherry or gooseberry to switch up your biscuits.

• Preheat the oven before baking your biscuits. This is really important because it helps them cook evenly, get that nice pale, golden-brown colour and ensures the recipe turns out just right every time.

• Bake the biscuits and place them a wire rack to cool. This lets air flow underneath the biscuits helping them cool down quickly.

• Leave the biscuits to cool completely before adding the jam; otherwise, the jam will melt and create a mess.

• Store your biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crisp!

Essentially, the air fryer is a small oven on your countertop, ready to tackle anything from cakes and muffins to bread, and yes, flapjacks.

To get the best results from baking in an air fryer, keep these essential tips in mind:

To adapt a traditional oven recipe for the air fryer, simply reduce the temperature by 20°C (25°F) and shorten the cooking time by roughly 20%. For example, if your recipe suggests baking at 180°C for 20 minutes, you’ll adjust your air fryer to 160°C for 16 minutes.

For baked goods that rise with the help of baking soda, baking powder, or yeast, preheating your air fryer is crucial. It starts the baking process off on the right foot, encouraging a perfect rise.

For liquid batters, a cake tin works best. For items like cookies that maintain their shape, baking paper is your go-to. You can use most oven-safe dishes in your air fryer, provided they fit well and allow air to circulate.

Forget everything you know about traditional flapjacks. Introducing flapjack crisps—thin, crispy, and utterly dip-worthy delights crafted in your air fryer in just five minutes. A modern twist on a classic, ready to become your new favourite snack.
