Flapjacks are probably the quickest type of oaty biscuit or bar to make. This gingered version is made a little more special by the addition of smooth marmalade.

Ingredients


180g (6 oz) butter
120g (4 oz) demerara sugar
2 tbsp smooth marmalade
240g (8 oz) porridge oats
1 tsp ground ginger

Method:

Combine the butter, sugar and marmalade in a small pan. Heat gently until the butter and marmalade have melted and the sugar has dissolved. Take off the heat the stir in the ginger and the oats.

Mix thoroughly to combine then press the mixture into a greased 20cm (8 in) sponge tin. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 160°C (320°F) and bake for about 18 minutes, or until lightly coloured and cooked through.

Allow to cool in the tin then slice into squares or bars before storing or serving.
