Famously fabulous flapjacks...
Our famously delicious Flapjacks take less than 10 minutes to prepare although they need an hour in the fridge after cooking to let them harden (don't be tricked into thinking they are crunchy ... they are extremely chewy). CRUCIAL to mark out the portions BEFORE the tray goes cold and then cut them properly AFTER the tray has set. The mix will be too soft to cut into portions when it is hot, and too hard to cut accurately if you wait until the tray is fully set.
Ethical Retailing
Ethical retailing is at the core of Yellow Hare’s ethos. We strive to reduce waste, increase awareness, avoid plastic where practicable and keep packaging to a minimum. We try to source our products locally; our 100% recyclable pyramid tea bags are from The Wee Tea Company in Dunfermline, our coffee is from Thomson’s in Glasgow, our 100% compostable cups and lids are from Vegware in Edinburgh, and 90% of our gifts are hand-made in Scotland, many of them unique to Yellow Hare. We use paper tissue wrapping, paper bags, paper straws, and cardboard coffee cup clings, and we offer free filtered tap water because we don’t sell bottled water. We are phasing out plastic bottles this year and replacing them with more environmentally friendly options. Our baking is all home made locally and most of it is gluten free throughout summer. All our snacks are vegan, including the chocolate bars. We provide full fat, skimmed, soya, and sweetened and unsweetened almond milk.
