This afternoon Star and I made "porridgies" (flapjacks). Star used to enjoy the Katie Morag stories by Mairi Hedderwick. So did I ... they are nice gentle picture books about a little girl living on a Scottish island with her mother and grandparents, if I remember rightly.* Three or four years ago we borrowed a Katie Morag collected storybook (title long forgotten!) from the library which included this recipe, and have used it ever since. It is quick, easy and child friendly (though my tolerance for stickiness isn't high enough to let Star loose with the golden syrup!).
Ingredients
100g / 4oz butter
75g / 3oz soft brown sugar
30ml / 2 tablespoons golden syrup (light corn syrup)
200g / 8oz rolled oats (porridge oats)
pinch of salt
Method
Melt butter in a large pan over a low heat.
Add sugar and syrup and salt. Mix well.
Stir in rolled oats. Mix very well.
Spread mixture evenly in tray with palette knife.
Bake for 25-35 minutes, till goldie brown.
Take out of oven. Let cool a little.
Mark in squares or fingers with knife.
Leave in tray till cold.
Put pieces in an airtight tin.
* One caveat: Katie Morag's parents are divorced or separated, though this is more apparent in some books than others.

I don't think it is Katie Morag's parents but Grannie Island who is separated from Grandpa Island. I read Katie Morag last night to three of my boys!
yes as her dad runs the shop and her mum runs the post office !!!
I agree! After reading most of the books myself and recently to a young cousin her parents are definitely together, and I think both her grandpa's are dead, although can't be sure as as far as I remember they're not mentioned ...
My Mum (Sadly no more) used to make these for me and my sister and even to some extent my father.
These are really flapjacks and they are a useful fairly healthy quick breakfast or even a packed lunch addition.
HOWEVER I think MY mum used to use runny honey, will this have been instead of the treacle?
You can also add raisins, sultanas and other mixed fruit.
I am moving to a new home and I thought I might look into my memory which has been shattered by Epilepsy and they say old factory senses will help with memory.
If anyone has any answers or ideas please email me cameron94.bater@gmail.com
I too have been baking these for 10 years since we first read the book! They are wonderful with a handful of sultanas, sometimes I add a little orange zest and a tsp of cinnamon. To ring the changes they are also popular with a sprinkling of white or milk chocolate chips for special occasions...
A wonderful foolproof recipe.
Enjoy!
Alternatively...a scraping of grated apple mixed in!

I don't comment, but after reading a lot of remarks on "Katie Morag'ѕ Ροrridgies". I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or do a few of the remarks come across like they are written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online social sites, I'd like to follow anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of all of all your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Have you ever considered about adding a little
bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you
say is important and all. Nevertheless imagine if you added
some great graphics or video clips to give
your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and
clips, this site could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche.
Very good blog!
