ANZAC Slice

[ss_storm]

Pictures of this look so delicious, just wanted to share the recipe! If I get around to it will be making it for Sunday, something a bit different to ANZAC biscuits.
Some comments also suggested drizzling melted chocolate over it!

1 1/4 cups plain flour
1 1/4 cups rolled oats
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup shredded coconut
150g butter, chopped
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 tablespoons boiling water

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease and line a 3cm-deep, 19cm x 29cm (base) slice pan with baking paper, allowing a 2cm overhang at long ends.

Combine flour, oats, sugar and coconut in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre.

Place butter and syrup in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until smooth. Combine bicarbonate of soda and boiling water in a jug. Remove butter mixture from heat. Stir in bicarbonate of soda mixture. Add to flour mixture. Stir to combine.

Transfer to prepared pan. Using the back of a spoon, press mixture evenly into pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden. Cool in pan. Cut into squares. Serve.

Sounds yummo! On a slightly different note though (still about slices), everytime I make a slice it crumbles terribly. Would adding an egg still make it okay?

I have one a bit different to this and I used to make it all the time. Never failed and so easy to make. You could also change the amount of water to turn it into biscuits. Never did, was to lazy

If it doesn't work or isn't nice let me know and I will post mine.

Thanks for testing it out Jaspen! Did you just make as the recipe says or did you put some chocolate over the top?

I can't wait to try it out, I just find cooking so difficult with DD.

I didn't do the chocolate and I melted the butter and syrup in the microwave 1.5mins with a good stir after) cause I didn't have the time to stand beside the stove. Its very quick to make storm and even my husband eats it.

Those who like their Anzacs crunchy mightn't be overly impressed cause its more a chewy consistency - but thats how I like my anzacs so thus the yummy comment
