Anzac Biscuits

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, oats and coconut. Next melt the butter and golden syrup together in a liquid measuring cup (about 1 minute in the microwave).

2. 2

   In a separate glass, add the very hot water and dissolve the baking soda. Once dissolved, add the water into the melted butter/syrup (it should appear frothy).

3. 3

   Return to the dry ingredients and make a well in the mixture. Pour in the butter/syrup and stir it all together. The mixture will be heavy to stir.

4. 4

   Next form 1/2-tablespoon-sized balls of the batter and place on a greased cookie sheet. Depress with a fork and bake for 10 minutes at 350u00b0F. Let cool for 5 minutes on the tray before moving to a cooling rack. Recipe makes between 40 to 45 biscuits.
