Anzac Biscuits
Golden, chewy, and full of oaty flavour, Anzac biscuits are a true Kiwi classic. Made with simple ingredients and no eggs, they keep well in the tin and are perfect for lunchboxes or a homemade gift. This easy recipe is a go-to for baking with kids or whipping up a nostalgic treat to share with family.
Contrary to legend, Anzac biscuits weren't sent to our troops serving overseas in WW1. However they were commonly sold at church fetes and galas to raise funds for the war effort. They didn't get their name until peacetime, with the first Anzac recipe appearing in about 1919.

After reading other comments, I decided to make these with 60g butter and two tablespoons of golden syrup. Turned out perfect! Chewy and tasty, went over a treat with my Canadian in-laws. Easy to make and quick clean up too. Biscuits did spread a little on the tray, makes 12.
Ive made this recipe quite a few times. I've used Treacle successfully each time sometimes add another couple tablespoons of hot water to make mix more moist. More moist makes a chewy biscuit, less moist a harder one.
Excellent recipe quick and easy.
Ridiculously delicious when I accidentally doubled the butter for a bach. Then so dissatisfyingly dry when making it according to recipe. Agree with the comments saying to use more butter + golden syrup.
Not only is this recipe really dry, the biscuits absolutely do spread! They spread so much my biscuits became a biscuit tray. Definitely add at least 30g more butter and another tbsp of golden syrup.
Fabulous!!
The mixture is WAY too dry. When you go to but the mixture on the baking tray, it just crumbles in your hands. I would suggest adding more butter and golden syrup. Instead of putting1 Tablespoon of Golden Syprup, try putting in 2. It really helps!
Anzac biscuits yum yum yum easy to make and easy to snack on. YUM!!
Annie, you can sub golden syrup with honey! I tried it and it works
