Hey smiles4u!

I made ANZAC biscuits for the first time on ANZAC day and I absolutely LOVED them.. Loved them soo much that I nearly ate them in the one day I think I only had 4 left the next day!!! This is the recipe I used..

ANZAC Biscuits
Makes 25

1 cup plain flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup desiccated coconut
125g butter, chopped
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1 1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda
2 tablespoons boiling water

1. Preheat oven to 160'C/140'C-fan forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper
2. Combine flour, oats, sugar and coconut in a large bowl
3. Place butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occassionally for 8 to 10 mins or until butted has melted. Combine bicarb soda and boilding water in a jug. Add bicarb of soda mix. Stir to combine. Add to flour mixture. Stir to combine.
4. Rolled level teaspoons of mixture in to balls. Place on prepared trays. Flatten lightly with fork, allowing 4cm between each for spreading. Bake for 15 to 16 mins, swapping trays after 8 mins or until golden brown but still slightly soft. Transfer to wire rack and cool.


To get it chewy, make sure you dont over cook them!! I make that mistake with the first even biscuits I made - I had them cooking for way too long because I thought they were too soft and not cooked through. Little did I know that when it cools they will harden cause of the butter!! And I cooked both trays at once - not sure why they say to cook them one at a time.

YUMMM!! Enjoy... I wish I could make some but I am on a 6 wk diet!!
