Anzac Day
In New Zealand on the 25 April each year we commemorate New Zealanders killed in war and to honour returned servicemen and women.
The day has similar importance in Australia, New Zealand's partner in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli.
As is coming up I thought I'd share an Anzac biscuit recipe with you all. The Anzac biscuit also known as the army biscuit, is essentially a hardtack biscuit with a long shelf-life. Think the elfish bread in Lord of the Rings. Enjoy!
You'll need:
125 grams Butter (unsalted)
1 tablespoon Gold Syrup
2 tablespoons Boiling Water
1 tablespoon Baking Soda
1 cup of Sugar
1 cup of Flour
1 cup of Rolled Oats
1 cup of dessicated Coconut
Instructions: Preheat oven to 150 degrees c. Grease a couple of baking trays or line them with non-stick baking paper. Melt butter in a small pan, add the syrup, water and baking soda, it will froth up. Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and add the butter mixture and mix well. Put spoonfulls of mixture on the prepared trays, approx. 5 cm apart, flattening them slightly. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
