NOTES:
* Biscuits (cookies) with butter and coconut — This recipe is from our
local school’s collection of “mother’s favourite recipes.” It’s terrific.
* Golden syrup is not available in North America; it is a caramelized
sugar syrup. North Americans can substitute dark corn syrup or a mixture of
molasses and water.
