Very sweet, crispy at first, then they go a bit chewy (which is how I prefer them to be).

Makes 24 good sized biscuits, best spread over two biscuit trays as they expand outwards.

Ingredients

• 120g butter
• 1 tablespoon Golden Syrup
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 3/4 cup fine dessicated coconut
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon bicarb soda dissolved in 2 tablespoons boiling water

Method

1. Preheat oven to 160 or 165 degrees C
2. Melt the butter with the golden syrup slowly over a low heat, in a good sized saucepan
3. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl
4. Add the dissolved bicarb soda to the butter and syrup - be prepared for the froth up!
5. Pour the hot mix into the dry ingredients, mix to combine
6. Place spoonfuls onto greased trays
7. Bake in a slow oven for 20 minutes, untilt he biscuits are golden
8. Leave cool on the tray for about 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack
