Anzac Biscuits 

These are a old time favourite. I grew up on Anzac's, as I am sure most Aussies did. They most likely got their name from being made for, and sent to the Aussie soldiers of the Australian & New Zealand Army Corp.
I am sure there are many recipes with many slight variations.

You will need.

1 cup plain flour
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup caster sugar (powdered sugar)
125g butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup (golden corn syrup)
1 1/2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
2 tablespoons boiling water

Method

1. Preheat oven to slow 150 Celsius. Brush 2 oven trays with melted butter. Place flour, oats, coconut and sugar in a large mixing bowl, stir until combined.

2. combine butter and golden syrup in small pan, stir over high heat until melted. Mix soda with boiling water, add to melted butter and syrup. Add to flour mixture, stir until combined.

3. Shape level tablespoonful of mixture into balls and flatten slightly; Place onto prepared trays, about 6 cm apart.

4. Bake 15-20 minutes or until crisp and golden. Remove from oven, stand 2 minutes. Loosen biscuits and cool on wire rack.
