Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup plain flour ((all purpose flour))
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut (, unsweetened)
  • 3/4 cup white sugar (, preferably caster / superfine)
  • 150g / 5oz unsalted butter
  • 4 tbsp golden syrup ((Note 1))
  • 1 tsp baking soda ((bicarbonate soda))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan forced)
  • Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
  • Mix flour, oats, coconut and sugar in a bowl.  
  • Place butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over medium high heat and stir until butter has melted.
  • Add baking soda and stir to combine - it will fizz up, this is normal. Immediately remove from heat.
  • Pour butter mixture into flour and mix until just combined.
  • Roll level 1 tablespoon mixture into balls, flatten into patties. Place balls, 2.5 cm/1" apart, on prepared trays.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, swapping trays halfway during cooking, or until deep golden. (Bake 12 min for chewy biscuits!)
  • Stand on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool - they harden as they cool!
