Granny's Flapjacks

'Most Canadians would call these oatcakes, but in Scotland they are called flapjacks. This is a favourite recipe from my childhood and so easy to make. I remember sitting in the kitchen with a cup of hot cocoa and watching granny make flapjacks on her old coal fired stove.' -James Barber
