Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.75 cup desiccated coconut
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, desiccated coconut, and brown sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and golden syrup together until smooth and fully combined.
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water and then stir this mixture into the melted butter and golden syrup. The mixture will bubble slightly—this is normal.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring well until a cohesive dough forms.
Using your hands, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking trays, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon to form discs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake; they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the Anzac Biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
