An unusual flapjack recipe, with the addition of orange rind, but it works – really good! I used 40g of pecan nuts.
Easy to make, delicious and can also use it as a base to add dried fruit or other nuts for a change. l make flapjacks to take camping and on hiking trips – so this recipe reminds me of holidays!
