100g butter
1/4 c golden syrup
1 t vanilla essence
1 c sugar
1 c rolled oats
1 c coconut
1 c flour
1/2 t baking soda
2 T warm water
Melt the butter in a fairly large saucepan. Measure the golden syrup in a 1/4 c measure rinsed in very hot water, so the syrup tips out easily.
Stir the essence and golden syrup into the barely liquid butter, then remove from the heat.
Mix in dry ingredients then baking soda dissolved in warm water.
Roll into balls on a tray and bake at 160C for 15 minutes
Alternative: replace vanilla with 2t garam masala, and use 1/2 c coconut and 1 1/2 oats
