Makes: 15 biscuits
Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 12 mins
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups of plain flour, sifted
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup caster sugar
- ¾ cup desiccated coconut
- 150g unsalted butter, chopped
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1½ tablespoons boiling water
- ½ teaspoon bicarb soda
Method
1. Preheat oven to 170°C.
2. Place the flour, oats, sugar and coconut in a large bowl and stir to combine.
3. In a small saucepan, place the golden syrup and butter and stir over low heat until the butter has fully melted.
4. Mix the bicarb soda with 1½ tablespoons of boiling water and add to the golden syrup mixture. (It will bubble whilst you are stirring the ingredients together, so remove it from the heat.)
5. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined.
6. Roll tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls and place on baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper, pressing down on the tops to flatten slightly.
7. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
