Anzac Biscuits

Traditionally made on or around Anzac Day, these biscuits are a big favourite in this part of the world. Although it's not April, I woke up the other morning and, a notorious comfort baker, decided to make some Anzac biscuits. They're so easy to make, and I was really happy with the results.  First of all, preheat your oven to about 160, and line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Sift one cup of plain flour into a large mixing bowl, adding one cup of rolled oats, one cup of desiccated coconut and three quarters of a cup of soft brown sugar.

Roll the mixture into small balls and line up on the baking tray about 5cm apart. Press down gently with a fork to flatten slightly. Bake for about ten minutes, or until golden on top. Try not to overcook them as you want them to be soft and chewy inside, rather than crunchy all the way through.


Once out of the oven, let the biscuits cool before you run a knife underneath them and remove from the tray. I like to pile mine up and put a ribbon around them to give as gifts - they will be happily received by your loved ones!




Enjoy,
Joanna
