Whether You Like Them Crunchy or Chewy This Is The BEST Anzac Biscuit Recipe!
There is nothing more Australian than the classic Anzac Biscuits. These biscuits are so good that they deserved to be made all year round, not just in the lead up to Anzac Day. This is a great recipe to make with the kids, not only is it super easy to make, but it’s also a great way to teach them about Australia’s history. While there may be a few variations of this recipe going around, in my opinion, this is the best Anzac biscuit recipe you will find.
To make the best Anzac Biscuits ever, you will need:
1 Cup of Plain Flour
1 Cup of Caster Sugar
1 Cup of Coconut
1 Cup Rolled Oats
125g Butter
1 tablespoon of Golden Syrup
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
2 tablespoons of boiling water
Let’s put it together!
1. Line two baking trays with baking paper and preheat your oven to 170 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, add the plain flour, caster sugar, coconut and rolled oats. Mix together with a large spoon to combine.
3. Place the butter, golden syrup, and boiling water into a small saucepan. Cook over a medium heat for 1 – 2 minutes until the butter has melted and the ingredients have all combined. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the bicarbonate of soda and mix until it has dissolved and the mixture ‘froths’.
4. Make a well in the centre of the bowl with your dry ingredients, before adding the liquid ingredients and stir with a large metal spoon until combined.
5. Use a tablespoon to scoop up mixture and roll into balls. Place on the tray and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. Make sure you leave a 2-3cm gab between the biscuits as they will spread during the cooking process.
6. Bake for approximately 18 minutes, or until the biscuits have turned a dark golden colour. If you prefer a crispy biscuit, cook for 20 minutes.
7. Carefully remove the biscuits from the oven and allow to cool on the baking trays for five minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
