homemade ANZAC biscuits
Ingredients
- 150 g plain flour
- 90 g desiccated coconut
- 80 g rolled oats
- 125 g butter
- 100 g caster sugar
- 50 g brown sugar
- 3.5 tbsp golden syrup
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C fan forced.
- In a small pot, place the butter and golden syrup over low heat until the butter is completely melted (about 2mins).
- Turn off the heat then add the bicarbonate of soda and stir to combine. Set aside to cool down for 5 mins.
- In a large bowl, combine the plain flour, rolled oats, desiccated coconut, caster sugar and brown sugar. Stir to combine everything then make a little well in the middle.
- In the same bowl, pour the melted butter and syrup mixture in the middle. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir well until it forms a crumbly and sticky mixture (add a tbsp of water if it feels too dry).
- Grab a spoonful (about 30g) of the biscuit mixture and rolled it with your hands to make little balls. Place the balls onto a baking tray and gently press each one to flatten them slightly.
- Bake the biscuits in the oven at 180°C fan forced for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
