Gettin' my bake on - Anzac Biscuits

Hubby & little miss often ask me to make Anzac biscuits, for some reason I always think they are too difficult so don't bother....But as Anzac Day approaches and I try to be baketastic I thought why not!

Turns out they are easy and also delish.

For these you will need....

1 cup plain flour
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup desiccated coconut
3/4 cup caster sugar
125g butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons bicarb soda
2 tablespoons boiling water

Once you have gathered all of the above, you will need to do the following:

1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees Celsius. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
2. Place flour, oats, coconut and sugar in a bowl and mix until combined.
3. Combine butter and golden syrup in a microwavable jug and microwave on high for about 30 seconds (this will differ depending on your microwave) until the butter is melted. Give it a stir.
4. Mix the bicarb soda with boiling water, add to the melted butter and golden syrup. Be prepared as it will froth up.
5. Add this to the flour mixture, stir until combined.
6. Shape level tablespoons of mixture into balls and flatten slightly. Place onto the prepared trays, about 6cms apart.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven, stand for 2 minutes.
8. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Now you can enjoy an Anzac bickie (or three) with a lovely cup of tea :)
