Preheat oven to 150°C (slow oven).

Combine butter and golden syrup or light corn syrup in a saucepan, stir over gentle heat till butter is melted. Put the oats, sugar, flour and coconut into a bowl and mix to combine. Mix boiling water with soda and add to melted butter mixture-it will foam up a bit. Stir into dry ingredients.

Place teaspoons of rolled mixture onto greased trays. Cook for 15-20 minutes (chewy) or 25 minutes (crunchy).

Bang tray on bench and loosen while warm then leave to cool on trays. Makes approx. 30 biscuits.
