Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
  2. Cream the butter with the sugar until smooth, then beat in the egg and vanilla.
  3. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate and salt, then add them to the buttery mixture.
  4. Dissolve the bicarbonate in the hot water with the syrup, then stir into the mixture to make a soft dough.
  5. Shape into balls the size of a walnut, place them spaced apart on the trays and flatten them slightly. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden. Let them cool on a wire rack.

Variations and tips

Coconut version. Roll the dough balls in desiccated coconut before baking for extra crunch.
