Golden Syrup Flapjack Recipe

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

Hello everyone, welcome back to our blog! How are you today? As you can tell by the title of this blog post, this is a recipe. We haven't done a recipe on our blog for a while, so, we thought we would do a flapjack recipe. This flapjack recipe isn't our own, it's a Jamie Oliver recipe, but it makes great flapjacks and is so easy to make! So, lets get on with the recipe.

Ingredients:

150g butter,
75g light brown soft sugar,
3 rounded tbsp golden syrup,
250g rolled oats (porridge oats).

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C) gas mark 4. Grease and line a shallow 20cm square tin with parchment or grease proof paper.

2. Put the butter, sugar and golden syrup into a medium pan and gently heat until melted.

3. Once it's all melted, add the oats and stir them until all oats are covered.

4. Then put the mixture into the tin, level and press the mixture evenly and firmly with the back of a spoon.

5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden around the edges. Once cooked, remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes, then mark into 12 (or however many slices you want, I did my bigger than what the recipe says) whilst still warm.

6. Cool the flapjacks completely before turning out onto a board and cutting again with a sharp knife.

Then it's time to enjoy the flapjacks!

So, that's the end of this recipe. We hope you enjoyed this blog post! This is a really good recipe, it makes lovely flapjacks, the flapjacks will keep up to a week in an air tight container.

Terry's Chocolate Orange Cookies

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

Hello everybody, welcome back to our blog! How are you all today? Today's blog post is by Lydia, and as you can tell by the title it's a baking blog post! It's getting closer and closer to Christmas, and as it's near that time of the year, we have a festive recipe blog post for you here. Both Jade and I love a chocolate orange, we always have them around this time of year. Especially when we get them as gifts at Christmas. I love watching a Christmas film and sharing a chocolate orange with my family of an evening in the countdown to Christmas. So, we made some chocolate orange cookies, and here's how we made them!

Ingredients;

1. 110g Unsalted Butter, softened,
2. 200g Light Brown Sugar,
3. 1 Large Free-range Egg,
4. 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract,
5. 165g Plain Flour,
6. Pinch of Salt,
7. 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder,
8. 1/2 Teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda,
9. 30g Cocoa Powder,
10. Terry's Chocolate Orange .

Method;

1. Preheat oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5). Line two large baking trays with Parchment paper.
2. Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until incorporated,
3. Add the flour, pinch of salt, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cocoa powder, mix until a dough comes together.
4. Divide the mixture into balls. Spread out evenly on the baking trays.
5. Put a segment of the chocolate orange on each ball of dough.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until spread out and crackling on top. 
7. Once cooked, allow the cookies to cool on the trays for 5 minutes - in this time the cookies will harden a bit to make them easier to move. Finish cooling on a wire rack.
8. Once cooled, enjoy the delicious cookies.

So, that's the end of the blog post. I hope you enjoyed reading, this recipe makes such nice cookies! If you don't like chocolate oranges then you can use the same recipe but change the chocolate orange to a chocolate of your choice. These cookies were delicious! We also made different cookies using the same recipe just had the small pieces of terry's chocolate orange mixed into the mixture. They were both just as nice. If you make these cookies we would love to see them! Thank you again for reading, I hope you enjoyed reading.
