Anzac notes

[montjoye]

I've been thinking of making Anzac biscuits since before Anzac day. I had no sweet biscuits left in the house, so today I finally made some. The catch is that I thoroughly dislike desecrated coconut. So here below is today's attempt. I've combined two recipes and replaced the coconut with nuts.

Mix in a large bowl:
1 extrovert cup of rolled oats
1 shy cup of sugar
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Heat together until simmering:
125g butter
2T golden syrup
2T water
Then add 1t bicarb, stir, let it foam up, then mix into the dry ingredients

Form to balls, on trays, 180deg, ~15min. Cool on trays until they hold shape, loosen, finish cooling on racks.

They are pretty jolly good. I think I might use mixed chopped nuts next time. The walnuts are yummy but there would be better crunch from things like almonds.

My recipe doesn't use coconut or nuts. I didn't think they are normally included?

interesting. The two recipes I have both include a whole cup of coconut.

Waldo certainly didn't have any coconut at Festival and his biscuits were pretty good.
