Traditional ANZAC Biscuits Recipe
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: ~20 biscuits
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 3/4 cup brown or white sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp golden syrup (or honey as a substitute)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper. - Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, coconut, and sugar. - Prepare the Wet Mixture:
In a saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup over low heat until smooth. - Activate the Baking Soda:
In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in boiling water. Quickly add this to the melted butter mixture (it will foam up slightly). - Combine Wet and Dry:
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined. - Shape the Biscuits:
Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls and place them on the baking tray, flattening slightly with a fork. - Bake:
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. For softer biscuits, bake on the shorter side; for crispier ones, bake longer. - Cool:
Allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
