Val’s Flapjack Recipe - A Favourite at J.E.W.M.
(this is a re-post, but well worth it!)
Our dear friend and colleague Valerie Watts, who passed away in 2010, used to make flapjacks and biscuits for the office almost every week. Her flapjacks were simply THE BEST we’ve ever tasted and we thought it would be nice to share her recipe:

Val’s Flapjack
After making it for years and years, Val was a master flapjack-baker, but with such a simple recipe it’s hard to go wrong with it. To achieve the best results, it’s essential that you use jumbo oats and that you don’t overcook it – it should be gooey!
