Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats (to make them gluten-free, use certified gluten-free rolled oats)
1 cup plain flour (to make gluten-free Anzac Biscuits substitute 1 cup of gluten-free flour blend)
1 cup desiccated coconut
¾ cup brown sugar
125g butter - diced
1 tablespoon of golden syrup (other liquid sweeteners you could use - corn syrup, treacle or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon bi-carb soda
2 tbs boiling water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 150ºC or 300F
Line 2 baking trays with baking paper
In a large mixing bowl add in the oats, GF flour, coconut and sugar and stir to combine.
In a microwave bowl, add the butter (cubed) and the golden syrup (or maple syrup) and place in the microwave and melt (about 20 to 30 seconds depending on your microwave.
In a small bowl, add in the bi-carb soda with the boiling water and then add it to the melted butter mixture.
Stir the butter mixture into the dry ingredients.
Using a tablespoon, place tablespoons of the mixture onto the oven trays.
TIP - you can roll them into balls and it will give you a more dense biscuit or roll and then flatten them in the palm of your hand and they will make a more crisp biscuit. (When placing them on the oven tray leave some space between each one for spreading.)
Bake in a slow oven for 10-15 minutes at 150ºC or 300F.
Remove from the oven and allow for them to cool on the tray and then remove with a spatula
Once cooled, store them in an airtight container (if there are any left ).... enjoy!!!
