SHAREOften sent by the people of Australia and New Zealand to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily, or sold at fundraising events for the war effort, especially during World War One. These biscuits are now part of the annual tradition and passed around as families gather for ANZAC Day Dawn Service at the Shrine of Remembrance and the following march through the city on ANZAC Day, 25 April 2018.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup - Rolled Oats
1 cup - Raw Sugar
1 cup - Plain Sugar
¾ cup - Dried Coconut
125 grams - Butter
3 tablespoons - Water (boiling)
2 tablespoons - Golden Syrup
½ teaspoon - Bi-Carbonated Soda
METHOD:
- Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius, no fan (if oven is fan forced, drop temperature to 160° Celsius)
- Place the Rolled Oats, Raw Sugar and Plain Four in a bowl, stirring with a wooden spoon to combine.
- Melt the Butter and Golden Syrup in a saucepan on low heat.
- Combine the Bi-Carbonated Soda and Water (boiling), adding this to the butter and syrup mixture in the saucepan. The combination should foam up and increase in size.
- Add the contents of the saucepan to the oat, sugar and flour mix, stirring until consistent.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper, placing golf-ball sized balls on to the tray. Allow a six-centimetre gap between biscuits.
