Today I waited around all day waiting for a phone call. It finally came so I could go out and buy ingredients to make Anzac biccies. But I got all depressed by the LIDL/ASDA experience and came home in a grump, and now it's almost nine pm and I don't feel like making them anymore. Maybe tomorrow. Sorry diggers.
A word from my Nana:
This is the recipe from the old faithful Schauer book.
ANZAC BISCUITS
Sift 1 full cup flour into a mixing bowl. Stir in 1½ cups rolled oats, 1 small cup dessicated coconut,1 small cup sugar, 2 teaspoons ground ginger. In a small saucepan, melt ¼ lb (125g) butter or margarine with 2 tablespoons golden syrup and 2 tablespoons water. Remove from heat and hold saucepan over dry ingredients as you stir in 1 teaspoon crushed bi-carb soda. As it foams, pour into dry ingredients and stir well. (If it seems too dry add a very little bit of water to remains in saucepan, and add to mixture). Lightly roll teaspoonfuls into balls, and flatten on very well greased biscuit trays, leaving a space between, as they spread. Bake in a fairly slow oven – they burn easily – until golden. They are soft when cooked, but become crisp when they are cold.
In the recipe that Philip Johnson has published in the recipe section in the paper, he does not use ginger, but I have always put it in my biscuits. I always think they turn out more crispy if you use butter, but if you like the softer kind, margarine is better.
Good luck, Jen. Hope you have a great day. Lots of love. Nana. XXXXXXXXXXXXX0000000000000000000XXXX
