Step 1🥄 Mix

Mix the oats, flour, coconut, sugar and salt in a large bowl.

Step 2♨️ Boil

Melt the butter with the golden syrup over a low heat, without letting it boil.

Step 3

Dissolve the bicarbonate in the boiling water and pour it straight into the butter mixture; it foams up.

Step 4🥄 Mix

Pour the foaming mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until even.

Step 5

Roll walnut-sized balls and set them on a tray with generous gaps between them.

Step 6

Flatten each ball with your palm to a centimetre thick; they spread further in the oven.

Step 7🥧 Bake

Bake at 160 °C for twelve to eighteen minutes and cool them on the tray rather than a rack.

👨‍🍳 Chef's Culinary Notes

Cultural Heritage

Anzac Biscuits carries a rich culinary tradition rooted in regional home cooking. Developed over generations, the recipe highlights wholesome local ingredients prepared with time-honored kitchen techniques.

Dietary Substitutions

To substitute whole eggs in baking, unsweetened applesauce, mashed banana, or a commercial egg replacer can work smoothly depending on whether the recipe is sweet or savory.

Chef Technique Tips

Resist the urge to open the oven door during the first two-thirds of the baking cycle. Opening the door vents trapped heat and steam, which can cause delicate baked goods to deflate or lose their rise.
