The Humble Anzac! Some like them chewy, some like them crisp – Either way, CSR has you covered, providing Aussies with sweetness for over 160 years. This is the only Classic ANZAC biccy recipe you will ever need.
INGREDIENTS
125 grams butter, chopped
2 tablespoons golden syrup or treacle (see tips)
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
2 tablespoons boiling water
1 cup (90g) rolled oats (see tips)
1 cup (150g) plain (all-purpose) flour
1 cup (220g) firmly packed CSR brown sugar
3/4 cup (60g) desiccated coconut
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease two large oven trays; line with baking paper.
- Stir butter and syrup in a medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Stir in combined soda and the water, then remaining ingredients.
- Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls; place 5cm (2in) apart on lined trays, then flatten slightly.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until golden. Cool biscuits on trays.
Spray your measuring spoon with a little cooking oil spray before scooping up the golden syrup; this will help prevent the syrup sticking to the spoon. Make sure you use rolled oats rather than quick-cooking oats as they will produce a different result. Store biscuits in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
