Some days are just made for baking. Here’s an old favourite with ginger for that extra touch.
Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
- 125g butter
- 250g rolled oats
- 250g plain flour
- 250g soft brown sugar
- 250g dessicated coconut
- 1 tsp of fresh ginger, minced
Method
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
- Grease 2 large baking trays.
- In a small cup, dissolve bicarbonate of soda in boiling water.
- Melt butter and golden syrup in saucepan on low heat; add dissolved bicarbonate.
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl, make a well in centre. Pour melted butter mixture into the well, stir to combine. Don’t stir too much!
- Place rounded, slightly flattened spoonfuls on the greased trays. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown
Let them cool a little before serving but keep your eye on them. They have a habit of disappearing mysteriously.
