ANZAC BISCUITS!

ANZAC BISCUITS

Anzac Biscuits were sent to the soldiers when they were at war by their wives because the ingredients do not go off easily and the biscuits kept well during transportation. They also made it for themselves as they only had limited food supply such as flour and oats.

The recipe:

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup thread coconut                                                
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 125 g butter
• 2 Tbsp golden syrup
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 Tbsp boiling water

METHOD

• Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a baking tray or line with baking paper.
• Combine the oats, coconut, flour, and sugar together in a large bowl.
• Melt the butter and golden syrup together. Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water and add to the butter mixture. Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together.
• Roll teaspoons into balls and place on the tray, allowing room for them to spread.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, cooking one tray at a time.
