• 1/3 cup (115g) golden syrup

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease 4 large oven trays and line with baking paper.
2. Combine oats, coconut, flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Set aside. Place butter, golden syrup and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until butter melts. Bring to a simmer and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, cool slightly, then add bicarb soda and 1 tbs water. Stir to combine, then pour over the oat mixture.
3. Using a wooden spoon, combine butter and oat mixture, then fold through the white chocolate. Using approximately 1 tbs mixture each, roll into 30 equal-sized balls and place on prepared trays, leaving 3cm between each.
4. Flatten biscuits slightly, then bake for 10-12 minutes until biscuits on the top tray are slightly golden. Swap trays and cook for a further 6-8 minutes until all biscuits are golden. Repeat with remaining trays. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.

Baking Anzac biscuits isn’t just about the delicious end result – it’s about tradition, remembrance, and sharing something homemade with the people you love. Whether you’re packing them up for a school lunchbox, serving them with a cuppa, or simply sneaking one (or two!) straight from the tray, there’s no better way to honour this classic Aussie treat. When it comes to baking, fresh is always best. Visit The Pines Elanora to snap up all your ingredients in one trip.
