Anzac Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 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)

Instructions

• 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!
