In honor of Australia day: Anzac Biscuits

My friend Kate gave me this recipe when I was living in Bolivia so I could properly celebrate Australia day when I no longer lived near any australians!

ANZAC BISCUITS

1 c. rolled oats

1 c. plain flour

1/2 c. sugar

3/4 c. grated coconut

2 T. Golden Syrup

1/2 c. butter

1/2 t. baking soda

1 T. boiling water

pinch of salt.

Mix oats, flour, sugar and coconut together and set aside.  Melt syrup with butter.  Mix soda with boiling water and add to syrup/butter mixture. Then add to dry ingredients. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 8 minutes. 

You can get the Lyle's golden syrup at World Market (or maybe in the import section of other big grocery stores).
