-cooking
; oats)
1 1/2 c Plain flour
3 ts Ground ginger
1/2 ts Salt
180 g Butter
3 tb Golden syrup
1 1/2 ts Baking soda
3 tb Boiling water
In a large mixing bowl, place the brown sugar, coconut, oats, flour,
ginger and salt. Mix well with a wooden spoon until all ingredients
are well combined.
In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the golden syrup. Combine the
baking soda and the boiling water and mix with the butter.
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry mixture and mix thoroughly,
making sure that there are no “dry spots”.
Drop dessert spoonfuls of mixture onto greased oven trays and bake at
190c. for 10 minutes until golden brown. Make sure that you allow
room on the oven trays for spreading, otherwise these biscuits will
become joined when cooking. Carefully remove the biscuits from the
oven trays and allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack.
