Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 4. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

2. Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the oats and desiccated coconut and stir to mix. Make a well in the middle of the mixture. Set aside.

3. Pop the butter and golden syrup into a pan and place over a medium heat. Warm for a fe wmins till they melt into a smooth mixture. Remove from the heat.

4. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in 1 tbsp hot water. Add it immediately to the butter mixture. It should foam up a little. Stir quickly, then pour it into the well in the dry ingredients. Stir till combined. Mix in the raisins, if you're using them.

5. Scoop a bit of mixture out of the bowl, roll it into a ball and then squash it flat on the baking tray. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. You should get around 14-16 biscuits out of the mixture.

6. Slide the biscuits into the oven and bake for 20 mins, or till light brown. Leave them on the tray to cool – they’ll be spongy at first, but will crisp up to a more biscuity texture. They will keep in an airtight tin for around 3 days.
