[[image:image021.jpg align”left”]]Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Line two baking trays with baking paper. In a large bowl combine Healtheries Simple Baking Mix and coconut and make a well in the centre. Put the butter or margarine, water, golden syrup and rice flakes into a pan and cook over low heat until melted and smooth. Set aside for 10 minutes. Return the pan to the heat and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Drop tablespoons of mixture (or make small balls in the palm of your hand) onto the prepared trays and flatten slightly with a fork. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
