Anzac biscuits

Our class made anzac biscuits to represent anzac day. Anzac stands for australian new zealand army corps ( anzac ) established in world war 1.  The biscuits were sent by wives and women's groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transport.

Anzac biscuits

Prep time:      10 mins

Cook time:     20-25 mins

Makes:           about 30

Tips

Tip: If you don't have golden syrup you can use honey or maple syrup instead.

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole grain rolled oats
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup thread coconut
• 1 cup soft brown sugar
• ¼ cup golden syrup
• 125g butter
• 2 tbsp boiling water
• ½ tsp baking soda

steps

1. Preheat oven to 160°C fan bake and line 2 oven trays with baking paper for easy clean-up.
2. Combine rolled oats, flour, coconut and sugar in a large bowl. Heat together golden syrup, butter and boiling water until butter melts. Stir in soda, then mix into dry ingredients until well combined.
3. Roll mixture into balls slightly smaller than a golf ball and place on trays, allowing a little room for spreading. For biscuits that are crunchy on the outside but a little chewy inside, lightly flatten with a fork or damp fingers and bake until lightly golden (about 20 minutes). For chunky, super-hard biscuits, bake for about 30 minutes. For very crunchy thin biscuits, press dough very flat and bake for about 15 minutes

Observation.

Julia: Our group  name was HJLG that stands for Hannah,Julia,Lily and Gypsy. The were wet ingredients and dry. when I put the butter and golden syrup in the microwave and after when I took it out It smells Delicious. After rachel took them out they looked amazing it had a nice golden and brownish colour.

A few minutes later. We just tasted the Anzac biscuits and they were delicious I could really taste the golden syrup and rolled oats  

Julia’s thoughts

My thoughts on the Anzac biscuits are that they smelt good and they are looking good and they taste good. They were a Ten out of Ten.  

Gypsy: My thoughts Feels sticky but crumbly. Smelt obviously Delicious. And tasted delicious and you could taste the golden syrup.It was so fun to make and we all worked in a team.I thought that the baking was very easy And fun.

Lily: i thought that it was a fun and easy recipe. The wet ingredients smelt so good and the dry didn't have a smell, but they felt really greessey with the wet ingredients in it. The wet ingredients colour was  a yellow and the dry ingredients colour was beige. The taste was so delightful. it tasted so sweet and yum but after it makes you kind of thirsty.     

Hannah’s observation: My observation was that after they were cooked they smelt yum and you could hardly resist them the colour was a golden brown.  The wet dry ingredients mix well together and the dry ingredients did not take over the wet ingredients or the wet ingredients did not take over the dry ingredients.  The anzac biscuits felt lite, golden and crunchy. The taste was delightful and crunchy.

Hannah’s thoughts:My thoughts are that the anzac biscuits are yum and crunchy and lite to eat.
