Anzac Biscuits

Who can go past Anzac biscuits? Certainly not me so tonight I thought I would make some, no particular reason, just felt like it. Here is my recipe:

1 cup plain flour

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup coconut

2-3 tbsp golden syrup (depending how chewy you like them!)

1 tbsp water

1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 170C

2. Sift the flour and add the sugar, oats and coconut

3. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the water and golden syrup

4. Stir in the bicarb and then add the liquid to the dry mix

5. Mix well

6. Line a baking tray with baking paper

7. Place biscuits on the baking tray - I use a dessert spoon to make them all evenly sized

8. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes

9. Remove from oven and allow to cool - this is when they will harden

10. Enjoy!

Once you have mixed the liquid into the dry mix it should be more on the dry side than gooey. As long as you can create a ball from the mixture without it falling apart the biscuits will stay together.

When watching the biscuits you will know they are ready by their color. The picture above was taken at 15 minutes so I gave them only 1 more minute. They don't actually harden in the oven so don't leave them in too long or they will burn!

Waiting for the Anzacs to cool is the hardest part!


Enjoy
