Anzac Biscuits

Ingredients:
1 cup Rolled oats
1 cup Plain flour
1 cup Sugar
¾ cup Dessicated coconut
125g Butter
2 tbspn Golden syrup
½ tspn Bicarb soda
2 tspns Boiling water

Method:
Melt butter & syrup together. Mix bicarb & water, then stir into butter/syrup. Mix in dry ingredients. Cook in moderate (180°C-200°C) oven for approx 15 mins. Makes approx 1 doz biscuits.

Suggested Variations:
- Use half the sugar – I make a mixture doubling everything except the sugar
- It’s fine to use self-raising flour instead of the plain flour/bicarb combination
- Add water to the mixture if it looks dry – you should be able to squash a ball of mixture into a fairly thin biscuit without having it fall apart.

Tip:
If you roll the mixture into balls, they won’t fall to bits and as they cook they flatten out themselves.
