Ingredients

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease two large oven trays; line with baking paper.

2.

Stir butter and syrup in a medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Stir in combined soda and the water, then remaining ingredients.

3.

Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls; place 5cm (2in) apart on lined trays, then flatten slightly.

4.

Bake for 12 minutes or until golden. Cool biscuits on trays.

Spray your measuring spoon with a little cooking oil spray before scooping up the golden syrup; this will help prevent the syrup sticking to the spoon. Make sure you use rolled oats rather than quick-cooking oats as they will produce a different result. Store biscuits in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
