The iconic Anzac biscuit is  one of those recipes that should be in everyone's recipe book.  It is perfectly golden, crunchy yet still chewy and a perfect afternoon treat during those cold winter days. Why not celebrate ANZAC Day this year with some variations on this classic treat?  Read on for my traditional ANZAC biscuit recipe as well a truly amazing ANZAC cake recipe.

Traditional ANZAC biscuit recipe

What you need

1 cup plain flour
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
125g butter
3 tablespoon golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

How to...
Preheat oven to 170C (fan forced) and line your baking trays with baking paper.
 
Place the flour, coconut, rolled oats and both types of sugars in a large bowl and stir to combine.  Place the butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan (or in your microwave) to melt - stirring occasionally.  This takes around 3-5 minutes. Set aside for 10 mins to cool slightly.
 
Combine 2 tablespoons of boiling water and the bicarbonate of soda in a small bowl. Add to the oat mixture along with the butter mixture. Stir until well combined.
 
Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and place on the lined trays, allowing space for spreading. Gently press each ball to flatten slightly. Bake for 15 mins for crisp biscuits. Set aside on the trays to cool completely. The biscuits will harden as they cool.
 
For extra yumminess drizzle with melted chocolate or dip one half in melted chocolate. #yum!

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
250 g extra-light sour cream

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease deep 20cm (8 inch) round cake pan and line base and sides with baking paper.
