ANZAC Biscuits

I got a taste of ANZAC biscuits last Friday. They were like oatmeal cookies but better (read sweeter).

Here is a recipe I will try one day.

ANZAC BISCUITS

Makes around 28 biscuits

1 t butter for greasing

1 c rolled oats

1/2 c flour

1/2 c desiccated coconut

1/2 c brown sugar

70 g butter

2 T golden syrup

1t baking soda

1T boiling water

Preheat oven to 160C and grease several baking trays with butter.

Combine oats, flour, coconut and sugar in a large mixing bowl.

Place butter and golden syrup in a saucepan. Melt over medium heat.

Stir to combine then turn off the heat and let the mixture cool a little.

Add baking soda to boiling water in a small bowl.

Tip mixture into melted butter and syrup.

Tip wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Combine using a wooden spoon.

Place teaspoons of batter onto grease baking trays leaving about 5 cm of space between them to allow biscuits to spread. Use your fingers to flatten them a little bit.

Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
