Food: Treacle Flapjacks

Saturday is cake making day.  Our frugal budget limits us to one baking day a week.  I was thinking flapjacks and when I asked the other half if there was anything he fancied as the cake-of-the-week, he, unprompted, announced flapjack.  After twenty years of un-marriage we are on the same wavelength.  When it comes to cakes, at least.

All of which was a bit unfortunate as, when I went to the cupboard, the cupboard was bare.  Well, the golden syrup bit of it, at least.  Time to improvise. Nothing new there as it is always a bit of a random recipe, depending what is, or in this case, is not to be found in the store cupboard.

But these are good, sticky, gooey, healthy (ish.  If you ignore the sugar, syrups and butter!) with a goodly amount of prunes and the substitution of black treacle made them deeper in flavour and less sweet than some.

Grown-up Jacks?  No, not really.
