Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • measuring jug
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • fork
  • wooden spoon
  • frying pan
  • tablespoon
  • egg lifter
  • small pinch bowl 
  • plate / serving dish (for cooked flapjacks)

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups cake wheat flour (add directly to large mixing bowl)
  • 1 cup krakley wheat flour (add directly to large mixing bowl)
  • 1 tsp (15 ml) baking powder (add directly to large mixing bowl)
  • ½ tsp tsp (2.5 ml) salt (add directly to large mixing bowl)
  • ¼ cup butter/margarine (keep in measuring cup)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (add directly to measuring jug)
  • 1 ½ cups (375 ml) milk (add directly to measuring jug)
  • 2 eggs (crack and add directly to measuring jug)
  • vegetable oil, for cooking (add directly to pinch bowl)

Instructions

    1. Rub butter into flour using your fingertips.

    2. Whisk milk, sugar and eggs with fork.  3. Add wet to the dry ingredients and blend together using a wooden spoon.  Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes you'll see bubbles forming on top of the batter. This means your batter is ready.

    4. Fry spoonfuls of the batter in a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat. (I normally fry 2-3 flapjacks at once)

    5. Once the flapjacks start to form bubbles on top, flip them over with an egg lifter and cook on the other side till golden brown on both sides. This normally takes 2 minutes.

    6. Transfer cooked flapjacks to a plate / serving dish and cover to keep warm.

    7. Serve warm with your choice of topping.

      Notes

      Storage instructions:
      Once cooled, place in an airtight container and store in fridge.
      Once cooled, add flapjacks to a freezer bag and freeze. When needed, take them out of the freezer and let them thaw naturally overnight in freezer bag.
      To heat, take the flapjacks out of the freezer bag and transfer to a plate.  Microwave in 20 second increments until warm.
