Oat bar or Flapjack Flapjack - bars, made from oatmeal, brown sugar and butter. The word "Flapjack" was used already in the beginning of the 17th century - Shakespeare mentioned it in his play "Pericles". In addition to the UK and Ireland, these bars are also common in America, Canada and Australia. By tradition, flapjacks are prepared with a "golden" or maple syrup. We will prepare another option - with the addition of honey. This will give a mild taste, while adding a drop of health to them! And to enrich the oat flavor, we add raisins. In addition to raisins, you can also add dried apricots or cranberries. But that is another story. Serve flapjacks for breakfast or snack. Keep refrigerated; Between the pieces it is better to lay the leaves of the parchment so that they do not stick to each other.
