10 mins preparation
20 mins cooking

Directions

Preheat oven to 360°F/180°C (320°F/160°C fan-forced).

Grease 2 oven trays; line with baking paper.

In a medium saucepan, stir butter and syrup over low heat for about 3 minutes or until smooth.

Stir in combined soda and the water, then remaining ingredients.

Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls; place 5cm apart on trays, then flatten slightly.

Bake biscuits for about 15 minutes, or until golden. Cool on trays.

Notes

Make sure you use rolled oats rather than quick-cooking oats as they will produce a different result. These can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
