There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

UK Flapjacks - Untested

https://www.errenskitchen.com/classic-british-flapjacks/#wprm-recipe-container-15573

½ cup salted butter (1 stick) cubed
½ cup brown sugar packed
5 Tbsps golden syrup or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
2⅓ cups quick-cooking oats See notes for using old fashion oats
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F/163°C (with the fan or convection setting turned off)
  2. Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan.
  3. Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the brown sugar, syrup, vanilla and cook until the sugar is dissolved and fluid. Remove from heat and whisk until there is no visible melted butter and the mixture resembles melted caramel.
  4. Add the oats and mix until well coated.
  5. Spread into the prepared pan and press evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  6. Bake until they start to firm. This will take 20–30 minutes, use the shorter cooking time for more chewy flapjacks and longer if you prefer them crisper. The flapjacks will firm and crisp more as they cool.
  7. Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
