Anzac Biscuits with Major David Hopgood and Cath Hopgood
Ingredients: • 1 cup flour
• 1 cup coconut
• 1 cup rolled oats
• ¾ cup brown sugar • 125g butter
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup • 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180°C/160° degrees fan-forced. 2. Stir through flour, oats, sugar and coconut in a bowl.
3. Combine the butter, golden syrup and water in a saucepan and heat until the butter melts. Remove from the heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda. (Hold saucepan over the bowl of the flour mix in case it flows over as the bicarbonate of soda bubbles up). 4. Pour the butter and syrup mixture in with dry ingredients and mix until it comes together as a dough.
5. Roll dough into small balls and place onto a greased tray ensuring that they are evenly spaced. They can be pressed down gently with a fork. 6. Bake the biscuits for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
