Flapjacks are a classic British treat, similar to granola bars or oat bars. They are typically made with oats, butter, sugar, and syrup, and can be baked in the oven until chewy and golden brown. The Best Ever Flapjacks are no exception - they are soft, chewy, and buttery, with a deliciously sweet and caramelized flavor. They are perfect for a midday snack or as a sweet treat with a cup of tea or coffee.

1.	Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/350°F/gas mark 4.
2.	Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat.
3.	Add the sugar and syrup to the pan and stir together until well combined.
4.	Mix in the oats until they are evenly coated in the butter mixture.
5.	Pour the mixture into a greased 8-inch square tin and smooth out until level.
6.	Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
7.	Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then cut into slices while still warm.
8.	Leave to cool completely in the tin.
