Anzac Biscuits

Today I've made two batches of much loved Anzac Biscuits.  Here is my families favourite recipe.

Ingredients ~
2 cups traditional rolled oats
2 cups plain flour
2 cups raw sugar
1 cup desiccated coconut
250g butter, chopped
4 large tablespoons golden syrup
2 teaspoons bicarb soda
2 tablespoons boiling water

Method ~
Pre-heat oven to 130C fan forced.
Put chopped butter, golden syrup and sugar into a microwave safe bowl and microwave stirring occasionally until the butter is melted and the sugar dissolved approx 1-2 mins.
Add all other ingredients and mix thoroughly.
With damp hands roll tablespoon sized amounts into balls and flatten slightly with your hand.
Allow room for expansion between biscuits on the tray.
Bake until golden brown, approx 20 mins.
Allow to cool slightly on the tray before transferring to a cooling rack.

Makes approx 48 biscuits.
