  "Don't let the name 'Biscuits' fool you.  These rich and crunchy
  cookies are presumably of Australian origin, which may explain the
  name."
  
  Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and make a well in the center.  Melt
  butter and syrup.  Add soda mixed with boiling water, then pour this
  mixture into dry ingredients.
  
  Mix to a moist but firm consistency.  Drop by tablespoonfuls onto cold
  greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 250 degrees F. about 20 minutes.
