Anzac Biscuits

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan 160°C or gas mark 4). In a mixing bowl, combine porridge oats, desiccated coconut, plain flour, and caster sugar.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the golden syrup. In a separate small bowl, mix the bicarbonate of soda with 2 tablespoons of boiling water, then add this to the butter and syrup mixture.
3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the butter and golden syrup mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
4. Drop dessert spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto buttered baking sheets, spacing them about 2.5 cm (1 inch) apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until they turn golden. Cool on a wire rack.
