ANZAC Biscuits
ANZAC Biscuits are a family favourite to so many in Australia and New Zealand. Crunchy and delicious. This is a great recipe to make with children and include in their school lunchboxes as a treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 125 g butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 150 degrees celsius (130 degrees on fan bake).
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, oats, coconut and sugar.
- In a small saucepan, gently melt on medium heat the butter and golden syrup.
- Mix together the water and baking powder in a cup and then pour into the butter mixture in the saucepan. It will froth up.
- Mix the butter mixture with the dry ingredients. Take tablespoonfuls into your hands and form into a flat round. Put onto baking paper about 4cm apart from the other biscuits.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, use a metal egg slice to flatten the biscuit (optional).
Notes
- It's best to use the traditional oats, not the quick cook oats, in this recipe.
- You can drizzle these biscuits with melted milk chocolate for something a little different.
- Try sandwiching vanilla ice cream between two ANZAC biscuits for a dessert treat.
