ANZAC BISCUITS

Ingredients
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • ⅔ cup caster sugar
  • ¾ cup desiccated coconut
  • ½ cup golden syrup
  • 125 grams unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
  • Set up your barbecue for indirect cooking. Please refer to your handbook for further instructions.
  • Line two baking trays with baking paper. In a large bowl combine the oats, flour, sugar, and coconut. Make a well in the centre.
  • Preheat your barbecue for baking.
  • Place the golden syrup and butter into a microwave safe jug and microwave until the butter is melted and the golden syrup is bubbling, about 2 minutes. In a separate small bowl mix the bicarbonate of soda and hot water; stir until dissolved. Add the bicarbonate of soda mixture to the golden syrup and melted butter (be careful as the mixture will bubble and foam.
  • Straight away pour the golden syrup mixture into the centre of the oat mixture. Mix to combine. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon-size balls onto the baking paper, allowing room to spread. Gently press down on the balls to create 5cm rounds.
  • Once the barbecue has preheated, make adjustments to the burner control(s) if required. Place the biscuits on and cook until deep golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Once the biscuits have cooked, allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
