ANZAC Biscuits -

ANZAC Day is a day to remember and honour those who have fought, served and died on behalf of Australia and New Zealand for over 100 years.

For those not familiar with this Southern Hemisphere memorial day, baking ANZAC biscuits is a annual tradition, these warm, buttery, oaty cookies symbolise hope, mateship and pride. Our recipe is a traditional recipe, using golden syrup and oats (although you could replace with maple syrup). They are so simple to make and are universally loved, today and every other day of the year.

2 cups rolled oats

3/4 cup shredded coconut flakes

1 cup plain flour

2/3 cup caster sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup golden syrup

1 tsp bi-carb soda
