Traditional Australian recipe, handed down from my mother. Her recipe has coconut and ginger in it which makes these especially good. Originally, these delicious bikkies were lovingly baked and sent in care packages to our soldiers at war.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tablespoon bicarbonate of Soda
  • 2 tablespoons boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon Golden Syrup
  • 125g butter
  • 250g porridge oats
  • 250g plain Flour
  • 250g soft brown sugar
  • 250g dessicated coconut
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger (or 1 tsp of freshly minced ginger)

Preparation method

  1.   Preheat oven to 180 degrees C /Gas mark 4. Grease 2 large baking trays.
  2.   In a small cup. Dissolve bicarbonate of soda in boiling water.
  3.   Melt butter & golden syrup in saucepan on low heat; add dissolved bicarbonate.
  4.   Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl, make a well in centre. Pour melted butter mixture into the well, stir to combine. Do not stir too much or mixture may become gluey.
  5.   Place rounded, slightly flattened spoonfuls on the greased trays.
  6.   Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  7.   Cool on a wire rack slightly before serving.

    Review: dammitjanet

    I think the quantities of ingredients should be checked on this. I spent about an hour trying to get it to stay together to bake, and added a bit more butter. I had to press the mix together with my hands. The results taste OK, but are more like cookies or cakes than biscuits. I have since found another recipe that uses only 100g of butter sugar and flour to 85g of oats and coconut. I will be trying those quantities next time.
