Thanks to Lynne McLaren for the recipe.

 

This Anzac Biscuit recipe came from my Grandmother, Florence Black, and has been used by my extended family for over 80 years.

It holds a special significance for me and I enjoy using this recipe to bake for Anzac Day.

1 plain flour

1.5 cups rolled oats

1 cup coconut

1 cup sugar

1 tsp ground ginger

125 g butter

1 tbsp golden syrup

1 egg

1tbsp boiling water

1 tsp bicarb soda

Method:

  • Sift one cup of plain flour into a mixing bowl, add one and a half cups of rolled oats, one small cup of coconut, 1 small cup of sugar, two teaspoons ground ginger and 1/4 pound (125 g) melted butter.
  • Put into a basin one level tablespoon of golden syrup, add one beaten egg and one tablespoon of boiling water; add one level teaspoon of bicarbonate-soda. Mix this together over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and directly it foams pour into the mixture and blend thoroughly together.
