I have this recipe written in one of my many recipe notebooks I have created over the years. It came from a British cookbook, but I can’t remember which one, though I vaguely think it might be from a little novelty book of wartime recipes. Wherever it come from, it is a good, sturdy recipe to have handy. A classic British flapjack is a sweet, syrupy oat snack, but these are … [Read more...] about Savory Cheddar Flapjacks
