ANZAC biscuits

With ANZAC day coming up, I thought I'd make my first ever batch of ANZAC biscuits. They do not look pretty, but when they were in the oven baking they smelt fabulous!


Ingredients:
1 cup plain flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup desiccated coconut
3/4 cup brown sugar
125g butter
3 tbs golden syrup
1/2 tsp bicarb soda


Method:
Preheat oven to 160 degrees C, and line baking trays with baking paper.


Put the flour, rolled oats, coconut and sugar in a bowl, stir to combine.


Put the butter, golden syrup and 2 tbs water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Continue to stir until butter is melted and ingredients combined. Stir in bicarb soda.


Add butter/golden syrup mixture to the flour mixture, and mix to combine.


Roll tablespoons of of the mixture into balls and place on prepared baking tray approximately 5 cms apart. Flatten slightly with a fork.


Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. When you remove the biscuits from the oven they will still be soft - they will firm up as they cool.
