Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup desiccated coconut
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 150g unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons boiling water

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, all-purpose flour, caster sugar, and brown sugar.

3. 3

   In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and golden syrup over medium-low heat until smooth.

4. 4

   Dissolve the baking soda in boiling water, then stir it into the melted butter mixture, allowing it to fizz.

5. 5

   Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The mixture should be crumbly but hold together when pressed.

6. 6

   Shape tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls, place them on the baking trays, and flatten slightly.

7. 7

   Bake for 12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Swap the trays halfway through for even baking.

8. 8

   Cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
