I'd like to make flapjacks with cornflakes instead of oats. Somebody told me the recipe is in a Bero cookbook. Can any of you help me? Wildflower

I've posted a request for your recipe on a favorite site of mine. I've requested a response via email and will post back as soon as I've received a reply.

Thank you Rose, that is great!

I got one hit, so far, for something called Auntie Ann's Cornflake Flapjacks from an Australian site: http://www.abc.net.au/midnorthcoast/stories/s732416.htm

They look more like cookies/biscuits than pancakes, but it may be what you're looking for. I'm pretty sure the SR flour is Self-Rising/Raising flour, which is what the Bero flour was. Also, 1 egg appears to be missing from the ingredients list. I don't see any liquid mentioned; perhaps the addition of milk (you'd have to experiment a bit) would give it the consistency to pour the batter onto a hot, greased griddle to make pancakes.

Hopefully you're familiar with metric/weight measurements, as opposed to volume measurement, so the recipe won't be problematic.

I'll look some more and post back if I find another recipe. Meanwhile, let me know if this works for you and I'll stop looking. Otherwise, I'm happy to see what else I can find for you.

I did some more searching and found a recipe for Nutty Yummy Flapjacks here: http://yummyumms.blogspot.com/. This recipe has both oats and cornflakes.

I also received a little education in the difference between American flapjacks (pancakes/griddle cakes) and British flapjacks (cookie bars/biscuit bars).

Perhaps this IS what you're looking for?

Hi Rose, I 'm looking for the British flapjacks. But these recipes are very helpful. Normally I wouldn't use flour for flapjacks, just oats. I tried with cornflakes instead of oats, but I got a sort of strange fudgy, chewy biscuits; not as I wanted them. That's why I asked on this site.
I understand you're American? I'm Dutch.

Based on what I've seen, the recipes I found must be what you're looking for, even if the ingredients aren't exactly what you were expecting.

You may want to try my favorite recipe answer board/search site. It's http://www.recipezaar.com/. When I posted my question there, I didn't know you were talking about a cookie-type recipe; as I'd posted, flapjacks are interchangeable with pancackes, or griddle cakes, in America.

You may want to explain that when you post. You could also try a search for cookie bars, with cornflakes as one of the ingredients.

Based on the inherent difference between oats and cornflakes, you probably won't get similar textures if you exchange one, for the other.

Hi! My husband is a Yorkshire man and I am an American, we live in the US. I have a Bero cookbook with a flapjack recipe. I have made them once but they came out too chewy. I plan to try them again. Do you still need the recipe?

Yes please, I'd love to get the recipe.

I hope that you find this flapjack recipe helpful, it is my grandmother's and my children still love it when I make them flapjacks!

175g rolled oats
75g sweet butter
50g raw cane sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
A very small pinch of salt

Melt butter on low heat, add sugar + syrup and stir until dissolved, then add the oats and mix well. Bake in a greased baking tin , pressing down well, at 180C for +/- 20minutes until golden brown (if you over cook they will turn out rock hard!! ). Mark out bars when cooled a little and then place onto a rack to finish the cooling. These will keep in an air tight tin for about a week.

Enjoy.     Roz
:P
