LOOK WHAT I'VE MADE - ANZAC BISCUITS.
Happy ANZAC Day for tomorrow 25th April 2014 to all our Australian and New Zealand friends. So to commemorate this great day in Australia and New Zealand's history I made some.
For us Aussies and New Zealanders we are all aware of what fabulous biscuits these are.
I wish we had 'smellavision' as the aroma wafting through the house is just gorgeous.
For those who would like to make them, here is a recipe for them.
Love and blessings Chris
ANZAC BISCUITS
1 cup Rolled Oats
1 cup Plain Flour
1 cup Brown Sugar (it gives a darker colour)
1/2 cup dessicated coconut
Mix all these dry ingredients together.
Then in a saucepan put these ingredients:
2 tablespoons Golden Syrup
1 tablespoon water
125 grams butter
1/2 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda
Melt first three items and when all melted add the bicarb soda and it will froth up. Pour liquid mixture into dry ingredients and combine well. Place a walnut sized amount on baking tray and bake for between 15-20 minutes at 175C (about 350F).
I have a fan forced oven and did mine a bit lower about 160C and only cooked for 14 minutes. Keep an eye on them as you don't want them to burn. The smell is heaven.

You are spot on Kim, it was a biscuit that was sent by the loved ones of the servicemen and women during the second world war. They are just delicious and have great staying power. Love Chris

I love Anzac Biscuits. Haven't made them for awhile. My eldest GDaughters birthday is on Anzac Day. When she was younger I had to make them every year for her. I hope she makes them now that she is married. Must ask her tomorrow when I text her. Shirley

I hope that your daughter makes them tomorrow for you. I'll take some along to our grand-children's Anzac Day walk. We will meet up with them and hundreds of others in Belmont. Hope you have a great day with your family. Love Chris

They look good Chris, what is golden syrup? Is it a colored corn syrup or maple kind?
2 comments
Yes, it is a light coloured syrup like honey and not as strong as treacle. I'll add a piece from the internet about it.
"Golden syrup is a pale treacle.[1] It is a thick, amber-coloured form of inverted sugar syrup, made in the process of refining sugar cane or sugar beet juice into sugar, or by treatment of a sugar solution with acid. It is used in a variety of baking recipes and desserts. It has an appearance similar to honey, and is often used as a substitute by people who do not eat corn syrup".
Love Chris

Golden syrup comes from sugar cane.
Probably corn syrup would be sweet enough, I think maple syrup would be too rich in flavour

Yum. I know who I am visiting this weekend. LOL!!!
Actually, I am cooking a scrumptious leg of lamb smothered in Rosemary, Thyme, Cinnamon and garlic and the aroma coming from the kitchen is making me sick with desire. :-)))
For those who aren't aware, a sprig of Rosemary is worn (on the lapel) on Anzac day, as a remembrance to honour the service men and women who fought in WW1 and WW2, especially those who did not come home.

Thank you very much, I was wondering what you were remembering. We do not have it in South Africa, and I think we should!
There was a South African contingent in the Sydney Memorial match.
But the general population in South Africa does not know about this. We have various religious and memorial days stated on our Country's calendars, but this is not one of them.
Neither is this taught in schools. We only hear about it from overseas friends.

Hi Carolyn, 125gm is roughly 4ozs! I keep a converter on my bookmarks for conversions of weights, heights and temperatures. I forgot Canada is still Imperial. Australia has been metric since 1988 - mind you we started it off in 1970!!!!!!!!!!!! took a generation to get it!!! Love Chris
Why thank-you i will make them soon hugs

Thanks for the recipe. Haven't seen that method before. Must try it. I tend to avoid recipes with bi-crab in them as I always end up with a yucky taste. And I do love a good Anzac Biscuit.

Just make sure you have stirred the bi-carb soda in really well and then mix with the dry ingredients well too. They are a delicious biscuit. Love Chris

For those of you who want to know the Golden Syrup looks like. I use CSR (Colonial Sugar Refinery here in Australia) Golden Syrup. I see Meganne has put up a link on YouTube on how to make your own!
I hope you all have a go at them, they are delicious. Love and blessings Chris
