Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the flour and water together, whisking all the lumps out. Pour mix into a disposable piping bag and set aside.
2. Combine the flour and baking powder in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
3. Make a well in the centre.
4. In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla and melted butter.
5. Add the wet ingredients into the centre of the well and whisk to make a smooth batter.
6. Add the sugar, spices, mixed peel and raisins (or chocolate chips) to the remaining batter.
7. Heat a non-stick frying pan and a little butter to the pan.
8. Pipe a cross into the pan and carefully drop ¼ cupful’s of the batter on top of the cross. (I have a small 10cm pan which is perfect for this!). Pipe another cross on top of this, if desired.
9. Place a plate or lid on top of the pan and cook for 2 minutes over low heat until puffed.
10. Flip the flapjack over and cook for 1-2 minutes.
11. Stack on top of each other and serve with more butter, honey, maple syrup or chocolate sauce.
