Lightening asked in the comments on my last post about the recipe for my Anzac slice.
It has been a while since I last posted this, so drum roll please…..
Here in all its glory is my Anzac slice recipe.
1 Cup Rolled Oats
1 Cup Plain Flour
1 Cup Brown Sugar, firmly packed
½ Cup Dessicated Coconut
125g Butter
2 Tablespoons Golden Syrup
1 Tablespoon Water
½ Teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda
1. Combine oats, sifted flour, sugar and coconut in large bowl. Combine butter, golden syrup and water in small saucepan, stir constantly over medium heat until butter is melted; stir in soda (or combine butter, golden syrup and water in microwave-proof jug, cook on HIGH for about 1 minute or until butter is melted). Stir in soda. Stir mixture into dry ingredients.
2. Place rounded teaspoons of mixture 5cm apart onto lightly greased oven trays; bake in moderately slow oven for about 20 minutes or until biscuits feel slightly firm. Use spatula to loosen biscuits on trays, cool on trays.
Makes about 25. Biscuits will keep in airtight containers for at least a week or freeze for 2 months.
I usually make a double mix of the ingredients, then instead of making individual biscuits I put the mixture into a slice tray and cook in the oven for 30 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius. Once the slice has cooled slightly I cut into squares. It comes out a bit softer and chewier this way.
Notes – I think mum got the original recipe from a Womens Weekly cookbook. Being a busy full time working mum she adapted the recipe from biscuits to a slice which saves time in the kitchen.
I’d love to hear of any other variations on the traditional Anzac biscuit.

I’d be curious to try this – having never heard of it before – but what is Golden Syrup?

Golden Syrup wiki link – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_syrup
I find it is less treacly and lighter than molasses and stronger in flavour and much thicker than maple syrup. I’ve tried making anzac slice with both those alternatives (and honey), none have really lived up to my expectations.
It is readily available in the UK.

My kids don’t eat Anzac Biscuits but they liked your slice!!! I’ll give it a go soon.
