Hokey Pokey Biscuits
Crispy golden biscuits flavoured with bicarbonate and golden syrup — a New Zealand lunchbox treat. Taking the syrup mixture off the heat before stirring in the bicarb triggers its dramatic foaming reaction, which gives these biscuits their characteristic crackly texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
Melt butter, sugar and golden syrup together over low heat until dissolved.

Sift in flour and mix into a stiff dough.
Roll into balls and place on lined trays. Flatten with a fork.
Bake at 175°C for 15 minutes until golden. Cool on trays.
