ANZAC biscuits are a delicious treat with significance that dates back to World War One.

On this day of remembrance, pop on your chef’s hat and have a go at making these sweet delights at home using Taste Baguette‘s recipe.

INGREDIENTS

• 250g rolled oats
• 250g plain (all-purpose) flour
• 250g firmly packed brown sugar
• 128g desiccated coconut
• 250g butter, chopped
• 4 tbsp golden syrup or treacle
• 3 tbsp water
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)

METHOD

Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease oven trays, line with baking paper.

Combine oats, sifted flour, sugar, and coconut in a large bowl. Place butter, syrup (spray the measuring spoon with cooking-oil so all the syrup comes away) and the water in a small saucepan; stir over low heat until smooth. Stir in soda, then stir into dry ingredients.

Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls; place 5cm (2-inches) apart on trays, flatten slightly. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden; cool on trays.
