Oaty, coconutty biscuits

After trying out lots of recipes from the same cookie book, and failing miserably, I've managed to bake some that are not only edible but actually nice!

Anzac biscuits

100 g porridge oats
150 g plain flour
100 g soft light brown sugar
50 g desiccated coconut
115 g butter
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp hot water 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Preheat oven to 190C.

Mix oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a bowl.

Melt the butter and honey on a pot.

Mix the hot water and soda bicarbonate on a little bowl and then pour over the butter and honey. Mix together and then pour over the oat mixture.

Stir it all together and then, with your hands, make small balls, place them on a baking sheet and flatten them slightly.

Bake for 10 minutes until golden.

Leave the biscuits on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
