Flapjacks

Known in some countries as pancakes, or crumpets, here in South Africa we call these little light and airy pillows, flapjacks. Call it what you will almost everyone has a weakness for it.
Not only are they a cinch to make, and impressive to look at... but they're absolutely delicious and great for teatime - especially with a cup of South African Rooibos tea.
