A twist on ANZAC Biscuits...

ANZAC SQUARES.......always a favourite in our house and I've made a double batch today 💙 There is no day more fitting than Anzac Day to share this so I hope this recipe becomes a favourite in your house too! #lestweforget #ANZACDay

Ingredients:

1 cup plain flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup desiccated coconut
100 g butter
1/4 cup golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 tablespoon hot water

Preheat oven to moderate 180 degrees Celcius. Line a shallow 28 x 18cm pan with aluminium foil; brush with oil or melted butter.

Sift flour and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add oats and coconut; make a well in the centre

Combine butter and golden syrup in a small pan. Stir over low heat until butter has melted and mixture is smooth; remove from heat. Dissolve bicarb soda in water; add immediately to butter mixture and stir until foamy. Add to dry ingredients and stir until well combined.

Spread mixture into prepared tin, pressing firmly with the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Coll in tin then using foil lift out and cut into squares.

Store in airtight container for up to 3 days 🙂

Enjoy 😍
