ANZAC Day (25th April) is a pretty special day in Austrila, so special it has it's own dedicated biscut. I have seen ANZAC biscuts on several blogs lately, some American, some with ingredients like orange essence, honey, or dried fruit, one even labeled the biscut as a 'cookie'.
As patriotic Australian there are some things you just don't mess with. You can eat our kangaroo's, you can poke fun at our beady eyed Priminister (heck we do it) but you don't muck about with ANZAC biscuts.
There are two kind of people in Australia, those who like their ANZAC's crunchy and those who like them chewy.
I like mine chewy, that's why this recipe is my favorite.
ANZAC Biscuts
1cup plain flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup desicated coconut
125gms butter, chopped
1/4 cup golden syrup
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
1tbs boiling water
Preheat over to 180C
In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, oats and coconut, make a well in the middle.
In a glass jug combine chopped butter and golden syrup, heat in microwave until butter is melted melted.
Add hot boiling water to bi-carb, it will fizz up. Add it to the butter and golden syrup, then add all liquids to the dry ingredients.
Stir until totally combined.
Roll tablespoon sized balls and place on a greased tray, flatten slightly with you hand.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
