Easy ANZAC biscuits

PREP: 10 mins | COOK: 10-12 mins
DIFFICULTY: Easy | MAKES: 10-12

Ingredients:

1 cup whole oats
1 cup dessicated coconut
1 cup plain flour
1 cup brown sugar
Pinch of salt
150g butter
2 tbsp golden syrup
1/2 tsp baking soda

1. In a large mixing bowl combine oats, coconut, flour, sugar and salt.

2. Melt butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over medium heat, then add baking soda, remove from heat and stir together. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix.

3. Roll large tablespoons tightly, compacting the mix with your hands. Place 3-4 cm apart, and flatten slightly on a lined tray. Bake at 160ºC fan-forced for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
