Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan). Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- 2
Mix the oats, flour, coconut and sugar in a large bowl.
- 3
Melt the butter and golden syrup in a small pan over a low heat. Stir the bicarbonate of soda into the boiling water and add it to the pan. It will foam up.
- 4
Pour the foaming mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until it clumps together.
- 5
Roll into 18 balls the size of a walnut, put them well apart on the trays and flatten slightly with your palm.
- 6
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until deep golden. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then move to a rack. They crisp up as they cool.
