Anzac Biscuits
Description
This recipe blends rolled oats, plain flour, and caster sugar as the dry ingredients. Butter and golden syrup are gently melted together before combining with a bicarbonate of soda and hot water mixture, which froths and activates the leavening. The wet mixture is stirred into the dry ingredients to form a dough that’s rolled into balls, flattened slightly to allow spreading.
Baked at a moderate 160°C (320°F) until golden, the biscuits develop a crisp exterior with a chewy inside. The combination of oats and golden syrup lends a toasted, caramel flavor that defines Anzac biscuits.
They are often enjoyed as a snack or with tea and have a long shelf life which historically made them popular for sending to soldiers overseas.

- 1 cup rolled oats (85 grams)
- 1 cup plain flour (all-purpose flour) (135 grams)
