Name: Anzac Biscuits
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 40 min
Ingredients: ½ cup Edmonds standard flour; ⅓ cup Chelsea White Sugar; ⅔ cup finely desiccated coconut; ¾ cup rolled oats; 50g butter; 1 Tbsp Chelsea golden syrup; ½ tsp Edmonds baking soda; 2 Tbsp boiling water

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.

Ingredients

½ cup Edmonds standard grade flour
⅓ cup Chelsea white sugar
⅔ cup finely desiccated coconut
¾ cup rolled oats
50g butter (or Olivani Spread)
1 Tbsp Chelsea golden syrup
½ tsp Edmonds baking soda
2 Tbsp boiling water

Method

Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Mix together flour, sugar, coconut and rolled oats.
Melt butter and golden syrup. Dissolve baking soda in the boiling water and add to butter and golden syrup. Stir butter mixture into the dry ingredients.
Place level tablespoonfuls of mixture onto cold greased trays and flatten with a fork. These don't spread as they bake so you can place them close together.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden. Leave on the tray for 5 minutes then place on a wire rack to cool.

My 7 yr old son made these by himself following this recipe, they turned out great and the kitchen wasn't even a mess, no mixture left in the bowl or sticking to other utensils, the easiest clean up ever for the most delicious home made biscuits!

Interesting fact: My Edmonds books from the 80's has 100g of butter, 1C of rolled oats and 1C of coconut, rest of ingredients are the same.
