A new Kiwi neighbor brought these over the other day in celebration of April 25th, ANZAC (Australia New Zealand Army Corps) Day, Australia and New Zealand's version of Memorial day. They were delicious.
ANZAC Biscuits
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup oats
1 cup coconut
4 oz butter
1 tablespoon treacle (golden syrup) (I read that corn syrup could be used)
2-4 tablespoons boiling water
1 teaspoon baking soda
Grease cookie sheets (biscuit tray!) and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flour, sugar, oats and coconut. Melt together butter and golden syrup. Combine boiling water and baking soda and add to butter mixture. Mix butter mixture with water and baking soda mixture and add dry ingredients. Add extra hot water if dough is too dry.
Drop teaspoons of mixture onto tray, allowing room for spreading.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool on tray for a few minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
