are you even australian if you don't make anzac biscuits on anzac day? well, you probably won't believe this, but i have actually never made them before. what a loser! hahaha. well. this anzac day i fixed that and the kids and i got to work.
joseph was a great help and got right into measuring things and rolling the mixture into balls - and the end result was delicious! i am so glad i found a good recipe to try the first time.
the recipe i got is from just a mum and was just perfect!
Just a Mum - ANZAC biscuits
Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 cups packed
brown sugar
2 cups rolled
oats
1 Cup desiccated
coconut
250g Butter
4 tbsp Golden
Syrup
2 tbsp Water
1 tsp baking
soda
Instructions
· Preheat oven to 170C
· Measure flour into a large mixing bowl and
add brown sugar, rolled oats and coconut and mix well.
· In a small saucepan heat the butter slowly
until completely melted then and add the golden syrup and water. Once combined
remove from the heat and add the baking soda - whisk together until completely
combined.
· Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour
in the butter mixture and combine the ingredients well.
· Line an oven tray with greaseproof paper and
roll tablespoons of the mixture well in your hands to form a ball - repeat with
remaining mixture, set approx. 1.5 inches apart to allow for mixture to spread,
press down with a fork
· Bake biscuits for approximately 10-12
minutes - until they just begin to turn golden brown then remove from oven -
they will firm up on standing. Allow to
cool for 5 minutes on the tray then remove to a wire rack until completely
cool.
· Store in an airtight container for up to a
week (but good luck getting them to last that long!
highly recommend this recipe, they are chewy and delicious. i'll definitely be baking them again and not just on anzac day.
