• 150 g plain flour 
• 100 g rolled oats
• 80 g desiccated coconut , unsweetened
• 165 g caster sugar 
• 150g / 5oz unsalted butter
• 90 g golden syrup 
• 1 tsp baking soda (bicarbonate soda)

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan forced)

2. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

3. Mix dry: Mix flour, oats, coconut and sugar in a bowl.  

4. Melt butter and golden syrup: Place butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over medium high heat and stir until butter has melted.

5. Baking soda: Add baking soda and stir to combine – it will fizz up, this is normal. Immediately remove from heat.

6. Biscuit dough – Pour butter mixture into flour and mix until just combined. The mixture will be crumbly but should stick when you press together.

7. Form patties – Scrunch / press 1 tablespoon of the mixture into balls, then flatten into patties. (Thinner = crisper, thicker = chewier centre, crispy edges).  Place balls, 2.5 cm/1″ apart, on prepared trays.

8. Bake for 15 minutes, swapping trays halfway during cooking, or until deep golden. (Bake 12 min for chewy biscuits!)

9. Cool to crisp – Stand on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool – they harden as they cool!
