• 4 bake the flapjack in the oven at about 180c for around 30 minutes, or until the flapjack has browned.
• 5 note: if you are using raisons in your recipe, you might like to cook the flapjack for a shorter time, or for a longer time at a lower temperature, because raisins can burn and expand with the heat.
• 6 once you take the flapjack out, you should cut it before it cools completely because it will harden.
• 7 if youre impatient, eat some warm (if you havent already!) but flapjack is just as delicious chilled.
