How to make ANZAC Biscuits

A great kiwi tradition, ANZAC biscuits are very easy to make, take about 20-25 minutes from start to finish.

• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 heaped teaspoon baking soda
• 2/3 cup raisins
• 90 grams butter
• 1&1/2 tablespoons of golden syrup

Combine flour, sugar, oats, coconut and raisins in a large bowl and mix well. In a small saucepan, melt butter and golden syrup. Combine the two mixtures Put baking soda in a mug, and add 2 tablespoons of boiling water to dissolve baking soda Add baking soda solution to butter and golden syrup. Make sure the golden syrup/butter is still hot, but not quite boiling, else it will foam up and over your saucepan. (You want it to foam up, but not too much.) A foamy, hokeypokey* type liquid will result. Smells great.

Pour the contents of the saucepan into the dry ingredients and mix well.

Place spoonfuls of the mixture on a greased oven tray. Bake at around 180C (350F) for approximately 16 minutes, or until they are light brown. Makes about 18 biscuits.

NOTE: Be warned that ANZAC biscuits can be highly addictive.

* hokey pokey is a very popular sweet, and often used as an icecream flavour in New Zealand.
