Ingredients
  

  • 150 g Butter
  • 35 g Honey or Golden Syrup
  • 15 g Hot Water
  • ¾ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • 105 g Plain Flour
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 90 g Rolled Oats
  • 35 g Dessicated Coconut
  • 150 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 50 g Caster Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180 °C/160 Fan/Gas Mark 4.
  • First brown the butter. To do this, place in a pan over medium high heat until butter starts to bubble, it smells nutty and dark brown bits begin to appear. This will take 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Add the Honey and Hot Water and remove from the heat.
  • Stir in Bicarbonate of Soda.
  • Add the Plain Flour, Salt, Oats, Coconut and both Sugars to a large bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the Butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
  • Use a tablespoon to measure out biscuits (1.5 - 2 tbsp each) with a maximum of 6 per tray.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool for a further 10 minutes.

Notes

Chewy vs Crunchy Anzac Biscuit

To make them crisp, simply bake them a little longer at a higher temperature and use white sugar only.
I make them chewy by baking them at a low temperature and I use more brown sugar over white sugar.

Variations

Add a handful of Chocolate Chips.
To make them Vegan, simply substitute the butter for coconut oil in the same quantity.

Storage

These Biscuits will keep up to 2 weeks in an airtight container and freeze very well.
