In a large bowl, stir together flour, oats or barley, coconut and sugar.

In a saucepan, stir together butter, syrup and 2 tbsp. water, stirring over low heat until butter has melted. Add to dry ingredients, stirring well with a wooden spoon.

Cooks Note: Agave syrup or Karo may be substituted for Lyle's Golden Syrup if not available.

Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven until the biscuits are light golden on the bottoms (do not allow to brown!) - about 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and cool for several minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: About 24 biscuits, 1 serving each.
