Taking inspiration from the beloved classic Anzac biscuit, these fluffy homemade scones combine everything we love about the classic bickie (think oats, coconut and golden syrup) and turn them into a scone.

2 cups (300g) self-raising flour, sifted, plus extra, to dust
¾ cup (65g) desiccated coconut
¾ cup (65g) rolled oats
200ml pure cream
200ml milk
2 tbs golden syrup, plus extra to serve
Whipped cream, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 230°C/210°C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2.

Place the sifted flour, coconut and oats and a pinch of fine salt in a large bowl. Add the cream, milk and syrup, and cut through the mixture with a butter knife to combine.
3.

Turn onto a generously floured surface and gently knead and pat out until 2-2.5cm thick. Use a floured 5.5cm round cookie cutter to cut out 12 scones and place on one prepared tray, 1cm apart. Press dough offcuts together and cut out remaining 9 rounds and place on remaining tray.
4.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until scones are golden on the bottom and top. Serve with whipped cream and extra golden syrup.
