My variation on the Australian biscuit. Great for school lunch boxes, or taking to picnics or hiking. - Cheydie

Ingredients

1 cup plain flour
1 cup raw sugar
1 cup rolled oats

Combine the flour, sugar, oats, coconut and macadamias in a large mixing bowl.

Gently warm the butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan, stirring often, until the butter is melted.

Add the soda to the boiling water, and then quickly add to the warm butter mixture and stir well.
Step 4

Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients in the bowl and mix well.
Step 5

Place teaspoons of the mixture onto greased trays, well spaced as biscuits will spread during cooking.

Step 7

Allow to cool slightly on the trays before moving to cooling racks.

I find these are easier to handle if cooked on baking paper as they are often hard to slide onto the cooling racks. Add extra golden syrup for a chewier, flatter result.
