Ingredients
- 90 grams rolled oats
- 150 grams plain flour
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 75 grams shredded coconut
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, plain flour, granulated sugar, and shredded coconut.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter with golden syrup, stirring occasionally until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in boiling water, then add this solution to the butter and syrup mixture. It should froth up immediately.
Step 5
Pour the frothy butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
Step 6
Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls and place them onto the prepared baking trays, leaving ample space between each for spreading. Press each ball lightly with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly.
Step 7
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.
Step 8
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking trays for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve the Anzac biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy!
