Pengelly Belly Bars

Pengelly Belly BarsIngredients
400g Rude Health Muesli or Fruity Date Porridge
200g plain flour
200g caster sugar
200g butter, plus extra butter for greasing
2 tbsp golden syrup/honey
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Method
Pre-heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.

  1. Put the muesli, flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and stir in the golden syrup.
  3. Add the bicarbonate of soda to 2 tbsp boiling water, and then stir into the golden syrup and butter mixture. Be careful as the melted mixture may rise due to the bicarb!
  4. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the butter and golden syrup mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the dry ingredients.
  5. Put the mixture into a lined and greased baking tray and press down firmly (like making flapjack!).
  6. Bake in oven for 12-15minutes until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before cutting into slices! It will firm  up and go nice and chewy in the middle when cold so don’t worry if it feels squidgy when it comes out of the oven.
  7. Enjoy!
