1 cup plain flour, sifted
Combine the flour, oats, coconut, and sugar in a bowl. Melt the butter and golden syrup (or honey) in a saucepan over a low heat.
Mix the bicarbonate of soda with the water and add to the butter and golden syrup.
Pour the liquids into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Spoon dollops of mixture, about the size of a walnut shell, onto a greased tin leaving as much space again between dollops to allow for spreading.
Bake in a moderate oven, 180°C (350°F) for 15 to 20 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack and seal in airtight containers.
Tips:
If you have any thoughts of keeping the biscuits for any length of time I suggest you keep them in a padlocked container!
For a little variety you may wish to add 2 teaspoons of ginger or even wattle seeds, a recent addition but don't ask me where to get them.
