There's nothing quite like a homemade Anzac biscuit. This treasured recipe has been passed down through generations — simple ingredients, a straightforward method, and a result that is perfectly golden and chewy every time. A true Australian classic that belongs in every kitchen.

Ingredients

24 serves

1 cup rolled oats
¾ cup desiccated coconut
1 cup plain flour
1 cup sugar
120g margarine
1 Tbs golden syrup
1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 Tbs boiling water

Method

1
Preheat oven to 150°C. Grease a baking tray.
2
Sift flour into a large bowl, then add rolled oats, coconut and sugar. Stir to combine.
3
Melt margarine and golden syrup together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously.
4
Mix the bicarbonate of soda with the boiling water, then add to the melted butter mixture.
5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well until combined.
6
Spoon onto the greased tray, leaving room for spreading.
7
Bake at 150°C for 15–20 minutes until golden.
8
Cool biscuits on the tray, then remove and store in an airtight container.

Kitchen Notes

For chewier biscuits, remove from the oven when they still look slightly underdone — they firm up as they cool. For crunchier biscuits, bake for the full 20 minutes. These freeze well both ways — freeze them cooked in an airtight container, or roll the dough into balls and freeze unbaked; bake straight from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes.
