Recipe: Anzac Biscuits With Raisins

Ingredients

100 g unsalted butter

2 tablespoons golden syrup

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

120 g plain flour

1 mug of porridge oats

1 mug of light brown sugar

1 mug of desiccated coconut

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Half a cup of raisins or sultanas

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas

Line 2 large baking trays with greaseproof paper.

Melt the butter and sugar in a small pan over a low heat, then stir in the golden syrup. In a small bowl, combine the bicarbonate of soda with 3 tablespoons of water, then stir it into the butter mixture.

Combine the flour, oats and coconut in a medium bowl. Make a well in the middle, then add the butter mixture, vanilla extract. Give the wet ingredients a good mix, then gradually stir in the dry ingredients to combine.

Spoon up a handful and then roll it into a ball and do this for each biscuit. 

Place them onto the baking tray 3cm between each other. Get a fork and gently press on each biscuit to flatten it slightly. 

Place in the hot oven for around 10 minutes, or until golden, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
