More specifically, All Butter Flapjacks. I’m really jonesin’ for some flapjacks, man. Can anyone help me hook up? I’ve got plenty of money, that’s not a problem. The only place I can find that sells them online is Sainsbury’s, but their web site doesn’t recognize my post code. Stupid metric system.
If I don’t get me some All Butter Flapjacks I’m gonna freak out, man.
Can’t you like grow…er… make your own? There’s recipes all over the internet, man.
Yeah, right. Have you seen what they’re made out of? The missus would never stand for that.
OK, then. Let’s try this again when UK Dopers are more likely to be at their computers.
(I refuse to believe nobody can help me score some Flapjacks)
I suspect I am going to regret this, but what is the difference between flapjacks and pancakes?
Cause, if there is none, then I can provide you with the scratch pancake recipe that has kept my kids and their sleep-over pals stuffed and happy since 1994 or so.

Flapjacks are sort of like chewy granola bars in appearence and general tecture, made from rolled oats, “golden syrup” (whatever that is), butter and (maybe) honey. I’ve only had one (on a recent trip to the UK), and it was so goddamned good I’ve got to get some shipped here.
I’ll give this thread another day and then I guess I’ll have to enlist somebody in the UK office to ship me some and mail them the £. Be easier to order online, though.
Winston Smith, did you move to the UK? I was on vacation & must’ve missed the story; got a thread name or linky to help me catch up?
For some reason, the word “flapjacks” always reminds me of those 2 drunk guys with Bill Murray in “Groundhog Day” - didn’t one of them keep talking about wanting flapjacks?
I thought they were the same as pancakes, too.
Is there a serious problem with making your own? Golden syrup is Lyle’s Golden Syrup, or in a pinch corn syrup. I don’t think it would be difficult to make them.
They sound yummy.
I spent a week there on business (actually, 4 days on business, then a long weekend sightseeing in London).
Here’s the thread. The best part is about 3/4 of the way down the first page when I’m drunk and mistakenly lash out at an innocent poster in the thread. 
Heh. too many John Smiths. I had a really good time, and I’m looking forward to returning there this fall.
Well, I might have to. We’ll see. There’s just some things I think are better left to the professionals, and I suspect Flapjacks may be one of them.
That was fun. It sounds to me as if you’re a much more fun travelling companion than Mr. Wanna. Especially in regards to beer.
Well, thanks, but you know by day I’m a mild-mannered white collar professional and totally square dad, right?
Of course, of course. Me, too (well, except for the dad part).
By the way, dude: hook me up with that recipe, will you? Thanks.
Winston, make them, seriously, they’re easy. Takes about 5-10 minutes to prepare, and 30 to bake, and you end up with gorgeous beautiful flapjacks. The recipe I use is 200g butter, 200g demerara (brown) sugar), 200g golden syrup or honey. (Don’t use corn syrup, it is not the same thing. If you can’t get golden syrup, use honey, or maple syrup), 400g oats. Melt the butter, sugar and honey/syrup in a pan, and then add the oats, and mix till all the oats are covered in the mixture. Then pour out into a greased baking dish, and bake in an oven preheated to 220C for about 15 mins.
OK, I guess I’ll make them myself.
Anyone know where I can score some Golden Syrup?
Where do you live, Winston? Lyle’s Golden Syrup, like Lissla suggested, is in the grocery stores around here.

Let us know how they turn out.
Mix dry and wet separately very well. Then blend together using wire whisk or hand-held mixer.
1 1/4 Cup Flour
1 1/4 Cup Milk
2 T. Sugar
1 t. Salt
2 t. Baking Powder
2 Eggs
1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
This recipe can be doubled or tripled without loss of taste or quality. Depending on size of eggs or what milk you use, batter may come out a wee bit thin for some folks’s tastes. I tend to dash in extra flour to the finished batter and re-whisk or re-blend, until it’s the right viscocity. But that’s just me.
