An
Anzac
biscuit is
a sweet biscuit, popular in Australia and New Zealand, made using
rolled oats, flour, desiccated coconut, sugar, butter, golden syrup,
baking soda and boiling water. Anzac biscuits have long been
associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps ( ANZAC)
established in World War 1.
It has been claimed the biscuits were sent by wives to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits keep well during naval transportation.
Here's a recipe
that makes 5 dozen
Anzac biscuits
-
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tbsp golden syrup
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tbsp boiling water
- 1 cup uncooked rolled oats
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 cup butter
Melt butter and golden syrup in
large pan over a low heat. Add bicarbonate of soda mixed with boiling
water. Combine dry ingredients in a Mixing Bowl, then pour melted mixture into center and mix to a moist but firm
consistency. Drop slightly rounded teaspoonful of mixture on to cold
greased tray. Cook for about 15 minutes in a moderate oven. Cool on a
wire rack.
