When it comes to baking Anzac biscuits, the age-old question remains – do you prefer yours crunchy or chewy?
Aussie foodie and celebrity chef Hayden Quinn knows a thing or two about perfecting the Aussie classic.
In the lead up to Anzac Day, Uncle Toby’s Ambassador has shared his top tips for making the perfect Anzac biscuits to suit the tastes of the entire family.
Five ways to bake the perfect Anzac biscuits for your family this year:
- Make sure you purchase good-quality oats to give the right texture. UNCLE TOBYS Traditional Rolled Oats produce the perfect texture for an Anzac biscuit. The Anzac biscuit recipe is endorsed by the Department of Veteran Affairs.
- Brown your butter to give an extra rich nuttiness and caramel flavour.
- Cooked Anzac biscuits can be frozen! Once completely cooled, freeze any leftover Anzac biscuits in ziplock bags and freeze for up to 2 months.
- If your Anzac biscuit is coming out too dry, then you may be cooking the biscuit for too long in the oven or you have not measured the butter quantity correctly – check those too things and have another crack!
- If you prefer a crunchy Anzac biscuit, replace the caster sugar with brown sugar and bake for 12-15 minutes until very golden brown on the edges. Allow to cool and firm up on the baking tray once removed from the oven.
