  Anzac biscuits are very popular in Australia and New Zealand and are typically made for morning or afternoon tea and on Anzac day 26 April.

Anzac day commemorates the sacrifice of Australian and new Zealand soldiers in WW I in Gallipoli. Read a bit about it very interesting history .

The biscuits themselves are made from Oats and butter and golden Syrup can be baked to be chewy or crisp depending on how you like them. I used to make them in hundreds when i worked for aged care in Sydney with a bomb proof recipe which worked very well. This recipe will make you about 40, but you can easily multiply by10/20 time to make it bulk qtys.

• Flour 300 g
• Oats120 g
• Dessicated coconut 75 p
• Sugar350 g
• Golden syrup 100 g
• Butter 250 g
• Water 25 g
• Baking soda/ Soda bicarb 10 g

The method is really simple.

• Mix all the dry ingredients together.
• Mix soda with water and dissolve it. Dont be tempted to add more otherwise will taste terrible and soapy.
• Melt butter and golden syrup gently. You can replace half the golden syrup with some manuka honey for a twist on the flavor which is quite nice.
• Make  small balls and place on a tray lined with baking paper
• Bake in preheated oven for 8-9 mins and let them  cool down on the tray.
• If you like your anzac biscuits a bit crisper then pop them back in the oven as its cooling in down for another 5 mins but not right away otherwise they will burn.
