School holidays at Somerset International school  began on Monday. School holidays leave time to spend with Grandparents. 

Here is the recipe  from 200 years of Australian cooking; Cosmopolitan spice;

6ounces or 180 g rolled oats

6ounces or 180 g flour

6ounces or 180 g desiccated coconut

6ounces or 180 g brown sugar

1 1/2  teaspoons baking powder

6ounces or 180 g butter melted

3 tablespoons golden syrup

Mix all the ingredients together, shape into small balls, place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper or buttered. Flatten the balls with a fork, bake in a low oven at around 150C or 300F about 15-20 minutes.

They are easy, quick and delicious for a crowd of children.
