Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Ingredients:

85g porridge oats
85g desiccated coconut
100g plain flour
100g caster sugar
100g butter, plus extra butter for greasing
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Method:

1. Combine all the dry ingredients except the bicarbonate of soda together in a bowl.

2. Melt the butter in a decent sized pan (it needs room to expand) over a low heat.

3. Add the golden syrup to the butter.

4. Put the bicarbonate of soda into a small cup, add the boiling water and mix.

5. Remove the butter mixture from the heat and allow to cool for 30 secs or so.

6. Pour in the bicarbonate of soda mixture to the butter and watch it froth!

7. Quickly mix all the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients before you lose the froth and stir well until completely mixed.

8. Make a flattened disc out of a spoonful of the mixture and place onto a lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave at least 1" between each disc.

9. Bake in a preheated oven at 180degC/350degF/Gas 4 for 8-10 minutes, watching them like a hawk to make sure they don't burn.

10. Put each biscuit on a cooling rack until absolutely cold.
