Ingredients:

85g porridge oats
85g desiccated coconut
100g plain flour
100g caster sugar
100g butter, plus extra butter for greasing
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Method:

1. Combine all the dry ingredients except the bicarbonate of soda together in a bowl.

2. Melt the butter in a decent sized pan (it needs room to expand) over a low heat.

3. Add the golden syrup to the butter.

4. Put the bicarbonate of soda into a small cup, add the boiling water and mix.

5. Remove the butter mixture from the heat and allow to cool for 30 secs or so.

6. Pour in the bicarbonate of soda mixture to the butter and watch it froth!

7. Quickly mix all the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients before you lose the froth and stir well until completely mixed.

8. Make a flattened disc out of a spoonful of the mixture and place onto a lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave at least 1" between each disc.

9. Bake in a preheated oven at 180degC/350degF/Gas 4 for 8-10 minutes, watching them like a hawk to make sure they don't burn.

10. Put each biscuit on a cooling rack until absolutely cold.
