Delicious Anzac Biscuits for Anzac Day.

I also made the Macadamia and Golden Syrup Tart posted by Chew Town. It was very tasty but I think that I would return to a butter based pastry next time. The salty, creaminess of great lashings of butter in a pastry,  is perfection.

There are so many recipes for Anzac Biscuits. Here is the one I used, thanks to my daughter who brought it home from school and was my cooking (and eating) accomplice today. Happiness.


Ingredients

1 cup plain flour

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup desiccated coconut

3/4 cup brown sugar

125 g butter

2 tablespoons golden syrup

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

2 tablespoons of water

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C or 140C fan-forced. Line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Stir in the oats, coconut and brown sugar.

Step 2
Put the butter, golden syrup and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Stir over a medium heat until melted. Stir in the bicarbonate of soda.

Step 3
Pour the butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined.

Step 4
Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls. Place on the trays, about 5cm apart.

Step 5
Press with a fork to flatten slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 6
Set aside on the trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack so it cools completely.


Today was the 100th year anniversary of the landing of ANZAC troops at Gallipoli. Melbourne seemed to collectively pause to mark this occasion.

  1. I have fond memories of my mum’s Anzac biscuits. After an incident with a wobbly tooth that just wouldn’t give itself up until a run in with an Anzac biscuit, she always made them when we had wobbly teeth to help them on their way! Love them!
