In honour of it being Australia Day today [and also because I lived in Sydney for half of my twenties] I decided I would bake some Anzac Biscuits for Peanut to try. Yummy.
If you’d like to try them for yourself, they have an oaty, golden syrupy flavour. On the day you bake them they’re crunchy, but they develop a softer texture while in storage. This recipe makes about two dozen biscuits.
You will need:
120gm butter
2 tablespoons [40ml] golden syrup
92gm rolled oats
85gm desiccated coconut
150gm plain flour
168gm caster sugar
1 tablespoon [20ml] boiling water
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Preheat your oven to 160 degrees celsius [a little less if fan forced] and line two large baking trays with baking paper.
Place golden syrup and butter into a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring frequently. Stir flour, oat, sugar and coconut together in a large bowl. When butter has melted, combine soda and boiling water in a small bowl and stir into butter and golden syrup mixture. Add ingredients together and stir until well combined.
Roll heaped teaspoonfuls of mixture into balls about 5cm apart on trays. Flatten balls with a fork. Bake for about 15 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown [a little longer will result in crisper, drier biscuits which you may prefer]. Remove from oven and allow to fully cool. Store in an airtight container.
Enjoy!

Looks yummy. If I weren't so busy trying to pack up my house, I'd try them! Did Peanut like them?
She loves a biscuit so thankfully these were no exception, despite not being out of a packet loaded with additives!
Are you packing so as to stage the 'perfect' house? One without clutter and sense of real life? I think that's half the stress of moving, all the false perfection and being on your best behaviour. Hope it goes ok today.
