Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Add the butter and the syrup into a saucepan on medium high heat until combine. 

Place the baking soda into a small bowl and add the boiling water, mix through until dissolves.  

Add to the butter mixture. This will bubble up and it is totally fine. Stir for 5 seconds and add to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well 

Lined 2 baking trays with baking paper.  

Scoop the biscuit dough into equal size portions and roll them into balls. Then pat them into a patty. Place on the trays with enough space for them grow on size while baking.

Remove from the oven and let them rest for couple of minutes before transferring to a rack to cool down.
