Here's one for Crunchy Oat Squares which is very similar to flapjacks:
5 oz porridge oats
4 oz margarine
4 oz demerera sugar

Melt margarine, mix together sugar and oats and pour melted marg over.
Press mixture into a greased 7" by 11" cake tin.
Bake at gas 5, 180 c. for about 20 minutes till golden brown.
Allow to cool in tin, then cut into 16 squares and remove from tin with a palette knife.
Spread top with melted chocolate if you like.

The recipe is from a Stork cook book circa 1972, brought out when Stork launched their "S.B." or "Soft Blend" margarine. I was at college then and that's the cookery book we used. It's now very tatty, but full of basic recipes, and their rich fruit cake recipe is the only one I would ever use. I've used it for Christmas cakes ever since, as well as wedding cakes, Christening cakes and anniversary cakes. It's only a little paper back, and I think it cost 15p in 1972. :-)

It's got my scribble all over it, Jan, as it's a table for different sizes of cake from 4" to 12 with round/square variations. So tell me what size and shape you want and I'll e-mail the recipe.
