Fig Flapjacks

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Prepare a tin (what size or what kind of preparation isn't detailed in the instructions) I used an 8" square baking dish, with foil, but no lubrication - based on previous oily flapjack experiences.
3. In a pan, combine the butter, sugar, syrup and orange zest (and/or spices) over a medium heat, stirring until the butter has melted.
4. Remove from the heat and stir in the oats and figs.
5. Tip into the prepared tin, pressing firmly down.
6. Bake for 40 minutes until deep golden and bubbling around the edges. The mixture will still be fairly soft in the centre, but will firm up when cooling.
7. Leave in the tin until completely cold. Turn out onto a board and cut into 16 squares.
