Anzac Biscuit Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup all purpose plain flour
• 1 cup desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger (optional)
• 4 ounces (115 grams) salted butter
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
• 2 tablespoons boiling water

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven 325ºF/170ºC. Line two large baking sheets with non stick paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, coconut, brown sugar and ground ginger (if using).

3. 3

   In a pan, melt butter and golden syrup.

4. 4

   Mix the bicarb with 2 tablespoons of boiling water and then pour into the butter mixture stirring well. It should foam. Pour the foaming butter into the oats/flour mixture, mix well.

5. 5

   Roll spoonfuls of the mixture into balls about the size of a small walnut, place on lined baking trays and press down with a fork. You should get between 30 to 32 balls of dough.

6. 6

   Bake for 14-18 minutes until golden brown, turning halfway through. Watch them, they burn easily so if your oven runs hot, reduce the temp a little and bake for longer for a crispy biscuit.

7. 7

   Cool on wire racks and store in an airtight container.
