Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C/Gas Mark 6) and grease 2 cookie sheets (baking trays) with butter. Sift together the flour and salt into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add the sugar, oil, lemon zest, and vanilla. Stir the baking soda into 5 tablespoons water in a bowl and pour into the well. Using a spoon, gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, then knead gently to a soft and pliable dough, adding a little more water if necessary. Break off small pieces of dough and roll into cylinders the size of your thumb, then press lightly to flatten. Put them onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced well apart, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven. To make the syrup, put the sugar, honey, and 1 1/4 cups (300 ml / 1/2 pint) water into a pan and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat. Pour a mixture of equal parts olive and corn oil into a heavy pan to a depth of 3 inches (7.5 cm) and heat it to 375°F (190°C), or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Carefully drop batches of the cookies into the hot oil and fry for a few minutes, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain well, and drop into the hot syrup. Let absorb syrup for 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with finely chopped walnuts.
HONEY BISCUITS (COOKIES)
This is my Mum's recipe for traditional Xmas biscuits. Usually given as presents. They are a 'Barossa Deutsch' recipe, which means they started as a German recipe, brought over with the settlers of South Australia's Barossa Valley, and have been adapted over the years. Makes a large quantity, but last for months in a sealed container.

Steps:
- In a very large bowl thoroughly combine all ingredients except flour.
- Gradually stir in flour until you get a stiff mix that is neither dry nor sticky. Quantity of flour will vary every batch.
- Cover bowl with lid or plastic wrap and set aside overnight.
- Next day. Preheat oven to moderate (180 degrees Celsius). Now, either roll out and cut out shapes or roll into balls. Press halved, skinned almonds onto balls. Either way, allow enough room between biscuits for slight spreading.
- Baking time will vary depending on thickness of biscuit. The biscuit will have a nice golden colour when done and still be soft. Allow to set for a couple of minutes on tray before putting onto a wire rack to cool. A thin biscuit will be crisp whilst a 'ball' will be softer.
Tips:
- Use high-quality honey for the best flavor.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the biscuits tough.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch before cutting out the biscuits.
- Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
