100g butter
2 Tbsp Chelsea Golden Syrup Tin

Additional tips

Chelsea Golden Syrup in the iconic red and gold tin is the best for baking. It has a thicker consistency and richer caramel flavour than Chelsea Easy Pour Golden Syrup (which is more suited to drizzling and marinades).

Absolute disaster. The mixture was to crumbly to roll into balls. I wonder if the quantities of rolled oats and coconut are incorrect. Perhaps it should be 3/4 cup coconut (not 1 3/4) and 1/2 cup rolled oats - not (1 1/2 cups). Very disappointed

Caroline

I enjoyed the biscuits & thought they were really nice, admittedly the mixture is a little on the crumbly side & i would probably make it into a slice next time. Will make again.

I made these with a yummy gooey centre in them for my grandchildren I dented the middle and put some caramel condensed milk in the centre. They love them hope someone else try it out

I made these for my grandchildren but added to them with a small dent in the middle and put a spoonful of caramel condensed milk in them . they love the gooey yummy texture of them. I prefer the good old Chelsea rec ipe must try your one with the cranberries next time. Thank you.

liv

the anzac biscuits were good

Joan

I had the same result as everyone else. Crumbly mix, too dry to form properly into balls. I added extra butter but I see someone suggested extra golden syrup which may help. I also agree on the timing, 25 minutes baking results in crunchy crumbly biscuits. I'm not a happy camper!

Amy

Please check this recipe, quantities for dry ingredients are wrong.

Julie

I see previous reviews but my batch was great though I was a bit heavy handed with the golden syrup. I had to press the balls together rather than roll as was a bit crumbly but just took a bit more effort and moulded gently with fingers rather than a fork. I think the timing is wrong though. Probably only need 15 minutes if you want them a little bit soft in the middle or 20 minutes for extra crunch. They burn fast if you don't watch them.

Linda

I also think measurements are wrong. Crumbly little balls, I wish I had of read reviews first!

Method

Preheat oven to 160°C. Mix Edmonds Standard Grade Flour, Chelsea White Sugar, coconut, rolled oats and walnuts in a bowl.

Melt Tararua Butter and Chelsea Golden Syrup together. Mix Edmonds Baking Soda with boiling water to dissolve. Mix both Tararua Butter and Edmonds Baking Soda mixtures together in a large bowl. Add Edmonds Standard Grade Flour mixture and combine.

Roll teaspoonsful into small balls. Place on a well greased or baking paper lined oven tray and press flat with the back of a spoon. Allow room for biscuits to spread.

Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
