Preparation

Mixing the Dry Ingredients

Combine dry ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the plain flour, rolled oats, desiccated coconut, and brown sugar.

Mix well

Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Preparing the Wet Ingredients

Melt butter

In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

Add syrup and water

Add golden syrup and water, stirring until well combined.

Use warm water when combining wet ingredients to activate the baking soda more effectively.

Add baking soda

Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda until foamy.

Ensure the baking soda fully dissolves in the mixture to avoid a gritty texture.

Gradually combine wet ingredients with the dry, stirring until a dough forms.

Shaping the Biscuits

Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place on a lined baking tray, pressing down gently.

Baking

Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
