Recipe: Golden Syrun - Bikkies

Bikkie Recipe

These yummy biscuits, or bikkies, down under, were traditionally
sent to the troops of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps by
the women back home.

Anzac Bikkies
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup flour
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup white sugar (or brown, depending on your mood)
1 pinch salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons golden syrup*
3 3/4 oz butter
2 teaspoons baking soda
*Golden syrup (made from cane sugar) can be tough to find in the
States-- try a specialty or gourmet store, or take a trip to
Australia!

Directions:
Grease two cookie sheets. Heat butter, golden syrup, and baking soda
in a pot on the stove. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, and
coconut, and then add butter mixture. Add sugar and salt. Stir in
egg and knead the mixture. Pinch off small balls, flatten a bit, and
put on baking tray. Allow room for the bikkies to expand! Bake at
350 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown (about 20 minutes).
