Authentic Anzac Biscuits Recipe - A Delicious Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon golden syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons boiling water

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and desiccated coconut.

    Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
  3. Prepare wet mixture

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter with golden syrup over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat.

    Keep stirring to prevent the butter from burning.
  4. Combine mixtures

    Dissolve baking soda in boiling water and add it to the melted butter mixture. Then pour this into the dry ingredients.

    Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Shape and bake

    Spoon tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking tray, flatten slightly, and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.

    Leave space between biscuits as they will spread while baking.
  6. Cool and serve

    Remove from oven, allow to cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Store in an airtight container for freshness.
