This australian classic is always a favourite in our house and everyone asks for the recipe whenever I make them. It has been around forever and I am sure that people out there will have this same version which has been handed down from generation to generation.
It has been tried and tested over many years and they are still as delicious today as when they were first made and sent to our soldiers overseas during the war.
My paternal grandmother always seemed to have these in her bikky barrel whenever we visited her and I remember the wonderful aroma coming from her kitchen whenever she made them.
PREPARATION:
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup plain flour
3/4 cup coconut
1cup brown sugar
125g butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon boiling water
METHOD:
Put oats, flour, coconut and sugar into bowl. Melt butter and golden syrup in a pan. Mix the baking soda and boiling water in a cup. Add butter and syrup mix and water together in pan. Quickly add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Roll tablespoons into balls about the size of a walnut and place on greased oven tray. Press lightly down with a fork and bake for 15 -20 minutes at 160C in fan forced oven. They appear soft but will harden when cool.
If you are watching your weight, halve the amount of sugar.
