An old Anzac favourite becomes a new treat with this fun and easy way to savour every golden bite. All we've done is switched up the original classic Anzac biscuit recipe with coconut for a tropical flavour hit.

 

Ingredients

1 cup plain flour

1 cup rolled oats

¾ cup white sugar

125g butter, chopped

2 Tbsp golden syrup

2 Tbsp hot water

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

¾ cup desiccated coconut

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C. Line 4 oven trays with baking paper

  2. Put flour in a large bowl and stir in oats, coconut and sugar.

  3. Combine butter, syrup and hot water in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Stir occasionally until butter has melted.

  4. Stir bicarbonate of soda into syrup mixture and remove from heat.

  5. Add warm syrup mixture to oat mixture.

  6. Stir until well combined.

  7. Shape 2 teaspoons of the mixture into 52 balls.

  8. Arrange balls on prepared trays about 8cm apart.

  9. Press each ball lightly with your fingers to flatten slightly.

  10. Bake, in batches, for 16 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on trays. Serve.
