ANZAC BISCUITS
Serves 1 to 14
Ingredients
- 120g flour
- 120g sugar
- 80g dessicated coconut
- 120g rolled oats
- 100g plant-based butter
- 30ml golden syrup
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 30ml boiling water
Method
Mix flour, sugar, oats and coconut in a mixing bowl.
Melt plant-based butter and golden syrup in a small pot.
Dissolve baking soda in boiling water, add to melted butter and golden syrup then stir into the dry ingredients.
If you want your biscuits to be equal size and weight, weigh 50g amounts, roll each into a ball and flatten to a circle of about 7cm; this makes a thicker biscuits. To achieve a thinner biscuit, use a 40g ball or just free style your biscuits.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 180ºC, a shorter time means a chewier centre.
Remove from oven and leave to dry on a cake rack, they will crisp up as they cool.
Tip: to make you own favourite ANZAC biscuit recipe dairy free, simply replace the butter and milk with plant-based alternatives.
