My grandfather said during service in World War II One of his mates sister would send ANZAC biscuits that were tougher than the biscuit the Ration hard tack. Hard tack Need to be soaked in hot tea and even then you still soak until it softened enough to bite through. Well the legend goes they used to bash the ANZAC biscuits and a hardtack together and boil it up to make a porridge which they where quite happy about. But his mate sister got engaged and they sent a telegram to the groom at the wedding telling him to join up as he would get better fed.. Funny his mate never received another care package from his sister.
125 grams (4oz) butter, chopped 2 tablespoons golden syrup or treacle (see tips) 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) 2 tablespoons boiling water 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (see tips) 1 cup (150g) plain (all-purpose) flour 1 cup (220g) firmly packed brown sugar 3/4 cup (60g) desiccated coconut
I was going to make these, but the amount of sugar put me off! These are the ingredients for the recipe in the video: 125 grams (4oz) butter, chopped 2 tablespoons golden syrup or treacle (see tips) 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) 2 tablespoons boiling water 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (see tips) 1 cup (150g) plain (all-purpose) flour 1 cup (220g) firmly packed brown sugar 3/4 cup (60g) desiccated coconut These are the ingredients from the BBC Good Food website recipe (I made this one instead). They were tasty but I could taste the bicarbonate of soda which was a bit unpleasant, so I will use less next time. Ingredients 85g porridge oat 85g desiccated coconut 100g plain flour 100g caster sugar 100g butter, plus extra butter for greasing 1 tbsp golden syrup 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda As you can see the quantities for the BBC recipe are fairly similar - except the quantity of sugar is less than half and the quantity of bicarbonate of soda is double. A fair bit less butter and flour too. If/when I make these again, I will use the BBC recipe again, but halve the amount of bicarbonate. I think the ones in the video would be far too sweet with more than twice the amount of sugar and golden syrup 😮. I am sure you could make them with even less sugar, biscuits are fairly forgiving. Not sure you can leave it out completely though?
These aren’t ANZAC biscuits. Once you alter the recipe they become something different. The Australian Department of Veterqn Affairs have a guideline that ought to be respected. It’s even illegal too sell an altered recipe as ‘ANZAC biscuits.’
And, of course, don't forget to let your syrup run down the side of the jar, across the counter, and under the cooktop. ;^)

What is the temperature of the oven
From Australia mates
Is there an alternative for golden syrup can we use honey
Shakuntala Doijode Treacle is the closest to golden syrup. Honey should work and you
could also try maple syrup.
Do you have to put in all that sugar? Can leave it out?

Great recipe... But how about measures for each ingredient? Nothing's said about it at all ! That's a major omission.
Any alternative for golden syrup?
Poornima b.v Treacle is close to golden syrup.
I use a small mechanical ice cream scooper. Easier and quicker
You didn't mention how much butter. Can you please provide the recipe? This is pointless without the recipe. I'm going to look somewhere else.
Whoah that escalated quickly
@@L_MD_😂
If they’ve got fruit or nuts in then they aren’t Anzac buiscuits
You’re 109% correct.
Furthermore, it’s illegal too sell ANZAC biscuits that have an altered recipe.
How much butter
Wondering how much butter too
How much is SOME butter. ?
SOME rolled-oats ??
coconut ???
Exactly, Bloody ridiculous
20-25 min baking time ? In a recipe it says 12 min .
Alicja Brown yes I’m wondering that too.

Where on earth do I find the measurements, not even in the transcript.
what is the point of saying it is the best recipe if you then don't provide the ingredients.
I have to agree, I was all ready to bake these and discovered there's no measurements for ingredients! Duh!
cooking time? amount of oats and butter? cant call it a recipe if you dont give the deets.
Mine never spread and flatten out.😢
Hey, next time you should say we have such and such amount of butter, sugar, etc. Not a nice teacher..

I much rather the lady from NZ on RUclips recipe. 🤷♀️
No measurement given re butter , going to another recipe
How stupid adding a recipe with no quantities or link to get quantities 🙄
Text please hearing impaired don’t know what you’re doing
Foolish, absurd. No ingredients listed at all. Gi play somewhere else
