There’s nothing more comforting than a freshly baked ANZAC biscuit.
Sweet, golden, and packed with the goodness of oats and coconut, these iconic biscuits are an Aussie favourite for a reason.
Whether you love them crispy or chewy, they’re the perfect treat with a cuppa! ☕🍪
What Makes ANZAC Biscuits
So Special?
It’s all about that rich, caramel-like flavour and signature texture.
A blend of golden syrup and butter gives them that deep, toasty sweetness, while rolled oats and coconut create the perfect chew. Plus, they’re made with simple pantry staples—easy and delicious!
The History Behind These Biscuits
Originally baked during World War I, ANZAC biscuits were sent to Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) soldiers because they lasted long without spoiling.
No eggs, no fuss—just a sweet, buttery biscuit with a heartwarming history.
What You Need to Make Them
1 Cup Rolled Oats – The key to that perfect texture.
1 Cup Plain Flour – Holds everything together.
3/4 Cup White Sugar – For the sweetness.
1 Cup Desiccated Coconut – Adds that classic ANZAC flavour.
4 tbsp Golden Syrup – The magic ingredient for richness.
150g Butter – Because everything’s better with butter.
1 tsp Bicarb Soda – Creates that light, crisp texture.
How to Make ANZAC Biscuits
Mix the dry ingredients – Oats, flour, sugar, and coconut.
Melt the butter & golden syrup – Stir until smooth and glossy.
Add the bicarb soda – Watch it fizz as it works its magic.
Combine everything – Mix well to form a dough.
Shape & bake – Roll into balls, flatten slightly, and bake until golden brown.
Crunchy or Chewy? You Decide!
For crunchy biscuits – Bake a little longer for that perfect snap.
For chewy biscuits – Take them out a bit earlier and let them firm up as they cool.
A True Aussie Favourite
These biscuits aren’t just delicious—they’re a taste of history.
Bake a batch, share them with family, and enjoy a little piece of Aussie tradition. 🇦🇺✨
