Ingredients
- 2 cups plain (non-self raising) flour
- 1 cup white or brown sugar
- 2 cups rolled or instant oats
- 1 cup desiccated coconut flakes
- 4 tablespoons golden syrup, corn syrup, or honey
- 225 grams butter or margarine
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons of water
Directions
- Mix the flour, sugar, oats, and coconut in a bowl.
- Melt the syrup and butter in a saucepan. Add the baking soda and water to the syrup mix.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients, adding water if necessary.
- Separate and roll the mixture into small balls, and flatten them on oven trays.
- Bake at 150°C (300°F) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Using brown sugar instead of white sugar gives more colour and flavour.
You can replace coconut with more syrup and oats.
Don't omit the baking soda and water. They give the biscuits crispness and colour.
