Anzac Biscuits

Golden oat and coconut biscuits sweetened with golden syrup. Crisp at the edges, chewy in the middle.

Ingredients

• 100 g rolled oats
• 100 g plain flour
• 100 g desiccated coconut
• 100 g brown sugar
• 125 g butter
• 2 tbsp golden syrup
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 2 tbsp boiling water

Method

1. Heat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan) and line two trays. Mix the oats, flour, coconut and sugar in a bowl.
2. Melt the butter and golden syrup together. Stir the bicarbonate of soda into the boiling water and add it to the pan.
3. Pour the foaming mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
4. Roll into 24 walnut-sized balls, space them apart on the trays and flatten slightly.
5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden. Cool on the tray, where they'll crisp up.
