Anzac Biscuits

Serves: 15 2 biscuits each!

Time for the first Australian specialty! This is also the of the family secret recipes, this one from mum's personal vault. The recipe is dead simple and always a big hit at work! The hardest part is finding the ingredients in the US.

Ingredients 

1 cup Rolled Oats

1 cup flour (I, like mum, use self-raising flour because we like the chewiness, though most people use plain)

½ cup sugar

¾ cup desiccated coconut (unsweetened, I usually have to go to world market or whole foods to find this in the US)

2 tbsp golden syrup (the brand in the US is called 'Lyles Golden Syrup', QFC stocks this, its just hard to find)

½ cup butter

½ tsp bicarb soda

1 tbsp boiling H20

Pinch salt

Method

1. Oven temp 160 Celsius (325 Fahrenheit)
2. Mix oats, flour, sugar & coconut together
3. Melt butter & golden syrup together
4. Mix soda and boiling water together and add to the butter mix.
5. Add liquid to dry ingredients
6. Roll into balls and squash with a fork (between tsp & tbsp), mixture is fairly crumbly. Allow some space between them on greased slide.
7. Bake for about 15-20 mins.
