We had a great time baking Anzac biscuits to celebrate Anzac Day which was in the school holidays. We learnt that the soldiers were sent anzac biscuits because they lasted longer because there were no eggs in them. The biscuits were also cheap to make because there were no eggs in them and eggs were very expensive during the war.
There was only one batch of biscuits that didn't work out very well because instead of 1 tsp of salt one group put in 1 cup of salt!!! The biscuits didn't taste very good at all.....
Next time we cook/bake we will need to read the recipe very carefully to get the right measurements correct.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1 cups rolled oats
- 125g butter
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp of salt
1. Heat oven to 180C. Line baking tray with nonstick baking paper. Place flour, caster sugar and oats in a bowl and stir to combine.
2. Place butter and golden syrup in the microwave in a bowl to melt. Dissolve baking soda in the melted butter. Add melted ingredients and dissolved baking soda to dry ingredients and mix to combine.
3. Roll spoonfuls into balls and press with a fork onto prepared baking trays, allowing space for biscuits to spread while cooking.
4. Bake for 15 minutes or until firm and golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool, and enjoy!
