ANZAC BISCUITS (COOKIES)
First a potted history of why they are called anzac biscuits. In 1915 the British and Empire troops were fighting a brutal war in Gallipoli against the Turks. The Aussies and New Zealand troops were part of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps ..ANZAC,, so these troops were forafter known as anzacs. In Australia the wives of these soldiers decided to bake biscuits to send their menfolk in the trenches .These were known as anzac biscuits and are still baked and eaten in Oz .They are now available in our supermarkets . But bake them yourselves ,,they are yummy.
1 cup plain (all purpose)flour
1cup desiccated coconut
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup rolled oat
125 g (4oz) butter
i tablespoon golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
2 tablespoons boiling water
#Preheat the oven to 160C(315F) Place flour,coconut,sugar and oats in a bowl. Mix well.
Place butter and gold syrup in a saucepan over a meduim heat and melt
Place bicarbonate of soda in a small bowl and add water. Stir to combine.
Add bicarbonate mixture to saucepan and stir.Pour over oat mixture and stir all ingredients together
Roll teaspoonfuls of biscuit mixture into balls and place on a greased and lined baking tray,leaving room for spreading. Flatten each ball gently with a fork
Bake buscuits for 15/20 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown at the edges. Allow to cool slightly on trays before transfering to a wire rack. Makes 20
They must be chewy ,so be careful not to overcook them The first time our aussie friend made some she burnt them abit by sticking to the times too much |
