Calories: 89kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F and line large oven trays with baking paper.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Melt the butter.
- Add the golden syrup.
- Dissolved the bicarbonate of soda in the hot water and combine with melted butter and golden syrup.
- Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and thoroughly combine.
- Form a flat tablespoon of mixture into a small ball, place it on the baking tray, and squash it down a little into a fat hamburger patty shape, and repeat, ensuring the balls are 5cm apart. We like our bisucits to weigh around 35 g.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes for chewy biscuits and 12 minutes for crunchy biscuits.
- Lift them carefully off the baking trays onto a cold plate.
