As ANZAC Day is approaching here is a recipe for traditional ANZAC biscuits. This came home from primary school with one of my children decades ago. I have no idea where the recipe came from, no doubt from the good old Australian Woman’s Weekly.
1 cup of rolled oats1 cup of plain flour
1 cup of sugar (I use brown sugar)
3/4 cup of coconut
125 grams (4 oz) of butter
2 tablespoons of golden syrup ( our measurements are different to US measurements but but not sure about Canadian measurements)
1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
1 tablespoon of boiling water
Combine oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a bowl. Combine butter and golden syrup in a pan and stir over a low heat until melted.
Mix soda with boiling water then add to melted butter mixture. Add to the dry mixture and stir. Place tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased baking trays. You can alternatively use baking paper instead of greased baking trays. Allow room for spreading. Cook slowly in oven for 20 minutes at 150 centigrade. Remove from oven and loosen when warm, then cool on trays.
NOTE This is Australian/UK metric measurements so if you live in the US please google the translation of these measurements into your country’s measurements or the recipe won’t work out.
