ANZAC BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the oats, coconut, flour and sugar in a bowl. Melt the butter in a small pan and stir in the golden syrup. Add the bicarbonate of soda to 2 tbsp boiling water, then stir into the golden syrup and butter mixture.
• Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the butter and golden syrup mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the dry ingredients.
• Put dessertspoonfuls of the mixture on to buttered baking sheets, about 2.5cm/1in apart to allow room for spreading. Bake in batches for 8-10 mins until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

"SOLDIERS" BISCUITS/ANZAC - WWI RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Gently melt the butter and golden syrup in a saucepan and heat, stir until combined. Put the baking soda in a cup or small bowl then pour in the boiling water. Pour this foaming mixture into the warm butter/golden syrup mixture and stir well - it will foam up. Now gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing everything together well. Place walnut size pieces of the dough on a buttered or baking paper lined oven tray and then press down with the back of a fork to flatten. Bake at 175 degrees C for approx 17 mins.

ANZAC BISCUITS (COOKIES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160C (if using fan-forced oven) or 180°C Line biscuit trays with a quality baking paper or lightly grease with butter.
• Using a large mixing bowl -- combine the oats, coconut, flour and sugars.
• Using a small saucepan or microwave -- melt the butter and golden syrup together. Set aside.
• Using a cup -- mix the boiling water and bicarb soda together. Add this mixture to the melted butter. The mixture will foam up.
• Add the butter to the dry ingredients and combine thoroughly.
• Note -- if the mixture is too crumbly the biscuits will not hold together -- add a small amount of water. I've posted a photo of how I like my mixture to look. You should be able to get a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it together/push into shape of a cookie. Add too much water and your biscuits will flatten out totally during cooking.
• Using your hands. Roll into balls and flatten slightly. These cookies do spread whilst baking -- so I usually place 12 to a cookie sheet/baking tray.
• Place on baking trays and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cooking longer will give a crunchier biscuit or less time a softer biscuit. I like mine to be crisp. Total cooking time will depend on how many cookies/trays can fit in your oven at a time.
• Cool on trays for 5 to 10 minutes before moving to a rack to cool.
• If biscuits are too soft they can be returned to the oven and cooked further.
