Anzac
Biscuits were originally baked by women in Australia to send to their
husbands and sons serving overseas during WW1. The parcels containing
the lovingly baked biscuits took over 2 months to arrive at their
destinations and they still tasted just as good! ingredients 1 Cup of
Plain Flour 1 Cup of Rolled Oats 3/4 Cup Dessicated
Coconut 3/4 Cup Caster Sugar 140g Butter 3
tspns Golden Syrup 3 Tblspns Boiling Water 1 tspn
Baking Soda
method Preheat
your oven to a slow 150°C
Sift the Flour
into a bowl. Add the Rolled Oats, Sugar and Coconut.
In
a saucepan melt the Butter, then add Golden Syrup and Water.
Take off the heat and add Baking Soda, allow to foam and pour over the
dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix well.
Take
teaspoonfuls of the mixture, roll into a ball and place on a greased
Baking Tray. Leave about 5cm space between each one, for
spreading. Press them down slightly with a fork.
Bake
in a slow oven until golden, approx 12-15 mins. Keep an eye on
them as they burn easily. Allow the Anzac Biscuits to cool for a few
minutes on the tray (they will be slightly 'sticky' when hot) and then
transfer to a rack to completely cool and harden.
Enjoy!
and store them in an airtight container. |
