Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Plain flour
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1 cup Coconut flakes
- 125 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 2 tablespoons Boiling water
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, plain flour, brown sugar, coconut flakes, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and golden syrup together until smooth.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the boiling water and baking soda until the soda is dissolved. Add this mixture to the melted butter and golden syrup, stirring well. The mixture will foam slightly.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a firm dough forms. If the dough is too crumbly, add 1–2 teaspoons of water as needed.
Step 6
Roll portions of the dough into approximately golf-ball-sized balls, then flatten slightly into biscuit shapes. Place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each biscuit.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Step 8
Allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks—perfect for packing into tramping trips!
