Today in Australia it is Anzac Day; a national day of remembrance to honour the Anzacs, (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps from WW1) and to remember all those who have died in military service for their country.
- Lest we Forget
During WW1 mothers and wives, who were anxious to send their loved ones in the trenches in Gallipoli, long lasting nutritional food supplements, started to bake what came to be called Anzac Biscuits
below is an old family favourite recipe ...
Anzac Biscuits
1 Cup each;
Plain Flour, Sugar, Rolled Oats, Coconut
100g butter
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup (or Golden Syrup)
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
2 tbls boiling water
1) Preheat oven to 170°C (about 325°F)
2) Line biscuit tray(s) with baking paper
3) Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl (Flour, Sugar, Oats and Coconut)
4) Melt butter and Syrup (approximately 30 sec in a microwave / or stir in a pan over a low heat)
5) Dissolve bicarbonate soda in boiling water, and add to butter mixture
6) Mix butter mixture well into bowl of dry ingredients
7) Place walnut sized tablespoons of mixture onto trays - leaving plenty of room for biscuits to spread.
8) Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until golden.
9) Cool biscuits on a wire rack.
ENJOY :)

ReplyDeleteDitto - I am hungry now!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to try these ~ thank you for sharing :-)
ReplyDeleteI promise to bake some, in their memory. My 2 boys love biscuits, we will try these ones. Thanks for the recipe and for the tip about its origin. Last Christmas I learned about another famous - this time British - biscuits, Flapjacks, in another blog, and they were a complete success with my kids. So yours, being Australian, must be even better :)
