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.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Mix together flour, sugar, coconut and rolled oats.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden. Leave on the tray for 5 minutes then place on a wire rack to cool.

Do I need baking soda?

EDMONDS: Yes, you will need to include Edmonds Baking Soda for a good bake as it is the main rising agent in Anzac biscuits.
