Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup quick oats
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup melted unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp golden syrup (or honey)
- 1 tbsp hot water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Garnish
- Extra coconut flakes or crushed nuts for topping
- Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, quick oats, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt, ensuring the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
- Melt Butter Mixture: In a small pot, gently melt the unsalted butter with the golden syrup until fully combined, then remove from heat to prevent burning.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the hot water and vanilla extract into the butter and syrup mixture, mixing thoroughly to create a smooth wet mixture.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until a soft, crumbly dough forms, ensuring all dry ingredients are moistened.
- Shape Biscuits: Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each ball to shape the biscuits.
- Add Garnish: Sprinkle extra coconut flakes or chopped nuts on top of each biscuit for added texture and visual appeal, if desired.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden color and become crisp around the edges.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack to achieve the perfect crunchy texture before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute golden syrup with honey for a slightly different but delicious flavor.
- Use quick oats for a finer texture or rolled oats for a chewier biscuit.
- Ensure the butter and syrup mixture is not too hot when combined with the dry ingredients to prevent premature cooking.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their crispness for up to one week.
- For a nut-free version, omit the optional crushed nuts garnish.
