An Anzac Biscuit is a sweet biscuit from Australia and New Zealand, made of oats, flour, sugar, butter, golden syrup, baking soda, boiling water, and sometimes coconut. They have long been associated with the Australian and NZ Army Corps (ANZAC), established in W1. The biscuits were sent by wives and women’s groups to soldiers abroad as the ingredients don’t spoil easily and kept well during naval transport. They are now also made commercially for retail sale.

1 cup plain flour - 1 cup rolled oats (regular oatmeal), uncooked - 1 cup desiccated coconut (optional) - 1 cup brown sugar - ½ cup butter - 2 tbsp golden syrup - 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda / baking soda - 2 tbsp boiling water

Combine flour (sifted), oats, coconut if using, and sugar in a bowl. Melt butter and Golden Syrup in a saucepan over a low heat. Mix bicarbonate of soda with the water, add to the butter and syrup. Pour the liquids into the dry ingredients, mix. Spoon dollops of the mix, about the size of a walnut shell, onto a greased tin, leaving space between dollops to allow for spreading. Bake in a 180C / 350F oven for 15-20 mins. Cool on a wire rack and seal in airtight containers.

Note: The American tablespoon is a little smaller than the British/Australian, so be generous with your Golden Syrup and water.
