Grandma Peggy's Flapjacks

On Sunday we had a lovely lazy day at home.  Lottie and I did lots of baking.  One of the things we made was our family favourite - Grandma Peggy's Flapjacks.

This is my Grandma's recipe.  She was the queen of Flapjacks.  I always rememeber as a child, whenever we would visit Grandma's house there would always be a box of her yummy flapjacks waiting for us.  Nobody elses flapjack are anything like her's!   I remember baking them with Grandma and my Mum too and now I make them with my children. 

It makes me smile now as both Tom and Lottie both talk about her flapjacks being the best too.  As soon as I took the tray out of the oven Tom came in and said "Are they Grandma Peggy's Flapjacks?  I remember every time we went to her house there was always a big box on the dining room table for us" he said as he ate one!

I am sure she wont mind me sharing the recipe.  They are delicious, crisp on the outside yet soft and chewy in the middle and very morish - believe me its hard to stop at one!
