For a chewier biscuit, use slightly less flour. For a crispier biscuit, flatten them a little thinner before baking. If you don't have golden syrup, treacle can be used as a substitute, though it will impart a slightly richer, molasses-like flavor. Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

A taste of history! These golden, crispy-edged biscuits, reminiscent of those sent to soldiers during World War I, are surprisingly simple to make with pantry staples. The combination of oats, coconut, and golden syrup creates a uniquely delicious treat. A true taste of Anzac tradition.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sweetened coconut, all-purpose flour, and white sugar. Whisk together to ensure even distribution. (3 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
In a separate heatproof bowl, dissolve the baking powder in the boiling water. The mixture will fizz slightly. Stir in the melted butter and golden syrup until well combined. (2 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a well-mixed dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold its shape when pressed. (5 minutes)
05
Step
8 mins
Drop level tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each biscuit to allow for spreading. Gently flatten each dough portion with a fork lightly coated with flour to prevent sticking. (8 minutes)
06
Step
15 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges. The center may still appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool. (15 minutes)
07
Step
10 mins
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will prevent them from breaking. (10 minutes)
