Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded coconut (I used unsweetened)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup rolled oats (I used Quick Oats)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 tsp treacle, aka golden syrup
  • 2 1/2 tbsp + 1/2 tsp boiling water
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • More water if needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (these biscuits can be quite sticky, so I really recommend the parchment paper if you have it).If you'd like to toast your coconut, pour the shredded coconut into a skillet and heat slowly over medium, stirring constantly, till the flakes begin to turn golden brown. Watch it very carefully, the coconut can go from brown to burnt in a matter of seconds. When it's browned to your liking, immediately pour it into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the flour, sugar, rolled oats, and salt to the large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and the treacle together, whisking till well combined. Remove from heat.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the baking soda with the boiling water, stir to combine. Add the soda and water to the melted butter and treacle.
  5. Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir till well combined. If the mixture seems to dry, add a little more water (I added about a tablespoon).
  6. Drop the dough in heaping teaspoonfuls onto the lined baking sheet, leaving plenty of room for spreading (they will spread quite a bit).
  7. Bake the biscuits in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
  8. Allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
