Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Desiccated coconut
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 4 oz Butter
• 1 tablespoon Golden syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 tablespoons Boiling water
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of all dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and golden syrup together, stirring occasionally, until smooth and completely melted. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water. This will cause a slight fizzing reaction.

Step 5

Add the dissolved baking soda and water mixture to the butter and golden syrup mixture, stirring quickly to combine. The mixture will foam slightly.

Step 6

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and a dough begins to form.

Step 7

Using your hands or a tablespoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each biscuit to allow for spreading during baking.

Step 8

Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the Soy-Free Anzac Biscuits in an airtight container for up to one week.
