• Pre-heat the oven to 160°C

• Place the golden syrup & unsalted butter in a small mixing bowl and melt in the microwave on high for 1-1½ minutes.

• Combine bicarbonate of soda and hot water in a small mixing bowl and stir well.

• Add bicarbonate of soda mixture to the butter & syrup mixture.

• Pour butter mixture into the rolled oats and stir thoroughly using a large mixing spoon until all the ingredients are combined.

• Roll spoonfuls of mixture into balls and place on baking sheets lined with baking powder.  Allow plenty of space between the balls because the mixture will spread when it cooks.

• Flatten each of the balls with the palm of your hand into 6cm rounds.

• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

• Allow biscuits to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to cooling racks.  The biscuits will harden as they cool

• Enjoy!
