Anzac Biscuits

It doesn't have to be ANZAC Day to enjoy a crisp ANZAC biscuit! They're super easy to make with the kids, you would be crazy not to bake up a batch for a tasty treat.

Ingredients

  • 125g (4oz) butter, chopped 
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup or treacle 
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) 
  • 2 tbsp boiling water 
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (see tips) 
  • 1 cup (150g) White Wings Plain All-Purpose Flour 
  • 1 cup (220g) firmly packed CSR Brown Sugar 
  • ¾ cup (60g) desiccated coconut
     

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease large oven trays; line with baking paper. 
  2. Stir butter and syrup in a medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Stir in combined soda and the water, then remaining ingredients. 
  3. Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls; place 5cm (2in) apart on lined trays, then flatten slightly. 
  4. Bake biscuits for 15 minutes or until golden. Cool biscuits on trays.   

 

Tip: 

Spray your measuring spoon with a little cooking oil spray before scooping up the golden syrup; this will help prevent the syrup from sticking to the spoon. Make sure you use rolled oats rather than quick-cooking oats as they will produce a different result. Anzac biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
