Rainy Day Baking...

At the moment it has been raining non stop... which means perfect baking weather! Since it is Anzac Day this weekend I thought I should try out some Anzac biscuits to commemorate our Anzacs.

These Aussie classics are simply delicious and ridiculously simple and quick to make. Enjoy them this Anzac Day and all year around with family and friends.. and of course a lovely cup of tea!

It's your turn!

Anzac Biscuits

2 cups (180g) rolled oats

1 cup (150g) plain flour

⅔ cup (150g) caster sugar

¾ cup (60g) desiccated coconut

⅓ cup (115g) golden syrup

125g unsalted butter

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of (baking) soda

2 tablespoons hot water

Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).

Place the oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a bowl and mix to combine.

Place the golden syrup and butter in a saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring, until melted.

Combine the bicarbonate of soda with the water and add to the butter mixture. Pour into the oat mixture and mix well to combine.

Place tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper and flatten to 7cm rounds, allowing room to spread.

Bake for 8–10 minutes or until deep golden.

Allow to cool on baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Enjoy! 

Eat sweet, be sweet :)
