Anzac biscuits

1. Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160°C. Lightly grease 4 baking trays.


2. In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar and coconut.


3. In a small pan, combine butter and golden syrup. Stir over low heat for 2-3 minutes until melted.


4. In a small jug, combine water and bicarbonate of soda. Stir into butter mixture. Pour into dry ingredients. Mix well.


5. Roll walnut-sized pieces of mixture into balls. Arrange on prepared trays, leaving a 4cm space between each biscuit to allow for spreading. Press lightly to flatten.


6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
