Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Grease and line the base of a 20cm square tin with baking paper.
  2. Heat 150g salted butter, 75g clear honey and 75g soft light brown sugar in a medium saucepan over a low heat, stirring to combine, until the butter is fully melted. Remove from the heat and stir in 250g Scottish oats and 100g frozen raspberries.
  3. Scrape into the prepared tin, smooth the top, then make about 24 small indents across the flapjack. Dot 75g raspberry jam into the indents, then bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown. Leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting into 12 pieces.
  4. Put 50g icing sugar in a bowl and stir in 2 tsp whisky (or water) to make a thick, pourable icing, then drizzle over the flapjacks. Will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

Tip: Freeze the un-iced flapjacks in an airtight container.
