Hello ,Kiwi Type Persons What are ANZAC Biscuits.?

Question

I was looking at Shortland Street the Hospital Soap from New Zealand the Other Day. A person wanted somebody else to make him Anzac Biscuits. The Girl Obliged and made the Biscuits, they appear to be 4 Inches in Diameter. Are they Commemorating the Second or First World War with their Biscuits. Does anybody have the Recipe for making them Curious. Thanking you.

Answer 1

Anzac biscuits( named after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) are cookies/biscuits made from rolled oats, golden syrup, sugar, butter, bi-carb soda & flour. They are very crunchy & tasty.



Will try to find my recipe & get back to you.



Edit: Recipe:

Anzac Biscuits.

1 cup of rolled oats

1cup of plain flour

1cup of sugar

3/4 cup of dessicated coconut

4oz butter

4 tblsns of Golden Syrup

1/2 tspn bicarbonate of soda

1 tblspn of boiling water.



Combine flour, oats, sugar & coconut in a mixing bowl. place the butter & syrup in a saucepan over a gentle heat & stir till melted. Mix the soda into the boiling water & add to the syrup mix. Then add all to the dry ingredients & mix well. Place teaspoonsful of the mix onto a greased oven tray, leaving a space as they spread. Bake in a slow oven, 150c- 300f for 20 minutes . Loosen on tray while still hot & leave to cool there. They go crunchy as they cool.



Sorry mate I don't watch any of those soaps, but as the ANZACS came from both countries, so too do the biscuits i guess.

Answer 2

ANZAC is a synthesis of NZ and Aussie working together for the noblest causes ... but given the friendly brotherly rivalry between the two, we can tweak the Kiwi made ANZAC biscuits a tad by using the best and freshest grown in Otago rolled oats! .. hehe! :)

Answer 3

You can buy them here (UK) too. Sainsbury's have them for sure. as that is where I buy them. They are totally excellent.
