To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook millionaire’s flapjack using 13 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Millionaire’s Flapjack:
- Prepare 250 g porridge oats
- Take 75 g sultanas
- Take 75 g unsalted butter
- Get 75 g dark brown soft sugar
- Take 50 g black treacle
- Prepare 25 g golden syrup
- Take 1-2 tablespoons rum flavouring, to taste
- Prepare For the caramel
- Prepare 1 (397 g) tin condensed milk
- Prepare 80 g unsalted butter
- Get 80 g golden caster sugar
- Get For the chocolate topping
- Make ready 150 g dark chocolate, melted
Steps to make Millionaire’s Flapjack:
- Pre-heat your oven to 170 C / Gas 3 to 4. Lightly grease either a 20cm round or square baking tin.
- Starting with the flapjack, put the oats and sultanas in a large bowl and stir them together. In a saucepan add the butter, dark brown sugar, black treacle and golden syrup and, over a low heat, gently heat until all the ingredients are melted and the sugar has dissolved. Add the run flavouring in and stir it through. Remove from the heat and pour it over the oats and sultana mix and stir it through until well combined. Make sure the oats are completely covered with the syrupy mixture.
- Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and press down into the tin using the back of a spoon. Pop it into the oven and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave it in the tin. It’s worth just giving it a little press down with the back of a spoon again just to make sure it’s firm in the tin. Let it cool completely before doing anything else with it.
- To make the caramel, tip the condensed milk, butter and golden caster sugar into a saucepan and put it on a medium/low heat on the hob. Bring to the boil stirring constantly to ensure that it doesn’t “catch.” This is really important; you don’t want it to catch – you get horrible brown/black bits in your caramel. When it gets to boiling point turn the hob down a bit so that the caramel is just simmering/bubbling gently. Still keep stirring the whole time for around 8 to 10 minutes.
- Once the caramel is ready you need to act quickly. Remove from the heat and pour/spoon it over your flapjack and smooth it over the whole surface evenly. Do this as quickly as you can because the caramel will start to set quite swiftly. Let cool.
- Finally, melt your chocolate, spread it over the caramel evenly and let it set. Loosen the flapjack from the tin (I use a knife and just run it around the edge) and then tip it out. Cut it up however you see fit.
- Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Foods That Make You Happy
In general, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and need to be avoided. Sometimes, if the comfort food is a high sugar food or some other junk food, this is true. At times, comfort foods can be utterly nourishing and good for us to eat. There are some foods that actually can boost your moods when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and are in need of an emotional boost, try some of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are wonderful for helping you fight depression. Just make sure that you do not throw out the yolk. When you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the yolks especially, are loaded with B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be terrific for raising your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that dictate your mood. Consume an egg and jolly up!
Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all great for helping to raise your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more serotonin in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a great protein food source.
Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you wish to fight depression. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. These are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you fight your depression.
Grains can be wonderful for driving away a terrible mood. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are great at helping you have a happier mood. These grains fill you up better and that can help improve your moods also. Feeling starved can truly bring you down! These grains can help your mood elevate as it’s easy for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood glucose which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can basically stimulate brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while at the same loosening up the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you become a lot healthier. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood also!
See, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you wish to feel better! Try these tips instead!
