The Anzac Biscuit Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160C (if using fan-forced oven) or 180°C Line biscuit trays with a quality baking paper or lightly grease with butter.
• Using a large mixing bowl -- combine the oats, coconut, flour and sugars.
• Using a small saucepan or microwave -- melt the butter and golden syrup together. Set aside.
• Using a cup -- mix the boiling water and bicarb soda together. Add this mixture to the melted butter. The mixture will foam up.
• Add the butter to the dry ingredients and combine thoroughly.
• Note -- if the mixture is too crumbly the biscuits will not hold together -- add a small amount of water. I've posted a photo of how I like my mixture to look. You should be able to get a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it together/push into shape of a cookie. Add too much water and your biscuits will flatten out totally during cooking.
• Using your hands. Roll into balls and flatten slightly. These cookies do spread whilst baking -- so I usually place 12 to a cookie sheet/baking tray.
• Place on baking trays and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cooking longer will give a crunchier biscuit or less time a softer biscuit. I like mine to be crisp. Total cooking time will depend on how many cookies/trays can fit in your oven at a time.
• Cool on trays for 5 to 10 minutes before moving to a rack to cool.
• If biscuits are too soft they can be returned to the oven and cooked further.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the oats, coconut, flour and sugar in a bowl. Melt the butter in a small pan and stir in the golden syrup. Add the bicarbonate of soda to 2 tbsp boiling water, then stir into the golden syrup and butter mixture.
• Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the butter and golden syrup mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the dry ingredients.
• Put dessertspoonfuls of the mixture on to buttered baking sheets, about 2.5cm/1in apart to allow room for spreading. Bake in batches for 8-10 mins until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350F (180C). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat. Add the golden syrup and baking soda to the butter and stir well. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Mix together the flour, oats, sugar, desiccated coconut and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon to combine ingredients.
• Roll about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough into small balls and flatten between the palms of your hands. Place dough on baking tray about 4 cm (1.5") apart to allow room for spreading.
• Bake the biscuits for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them sit on the baking tray for 5 minutes.
• Remove the biscuits from the tray and cool on a wire rack.
• Yield: 10-15 biscuits.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160°C (I'm guessing about 325-350°F).
• Melt butter and syrup over stove until all melted and combined.
• In another bowl, combine the flours, oats, sugar, coconut and baking powder.
• Add to this the butter and if needed the boiling water.
• Roll biscuits into small balls and gently push down.
• Place on over tray and bake for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix oats, flour, sugar and coconut together.
• Mix soda with boiling water and add to melted butter and syrup.
• Add to dry ingredients.
• Place 1 tablespoon of mixture on a greased tray.
• Bake in slow oven for 20 minutes at 160°C.

Steps:

• Mix oats, flour, sugar and coconut together.
• Melt syrup and butter together.
• Mix the bicarb with boiling water and add to butter and syrup mixture. Add this to dry ingredients.
• Place tablespoonsful of the mixture on a greased oven slide (cookie sheet). Bake at 150 - 160 C (300-325F) for 20 minutes.
• Good luck.
