Yummy.

It’s Anzac Day. But I’m in India and I have no oven. I can’t make Anzac biscuits or our favourite, Anzac slice. Not that I normally bake this only on Anzac day. Gosh no. We have Anzac slice often. Millar loves it. So do I. It’s on my ever growing list of things I must make the instant I get home.

Here is the recipe I use.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup dessicated coconut
• 150 grams butter
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda
• 2 tablespoons boiling water

Method:

1. Put flour, oats, sugar and coconut into a bowl and combine.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat
3. Add golden syrup and stir, remove from heat.
4. In a separate jug or bowl, combine bicarb with boiling water and mix.
5. Add bicarb mixture to butter mixture. It should froth up a little. Stir through.
6. Add this syrup to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.

At this stage you can decide whether to make slice or biscuits.

1. For slice, press the mixture into a greased slice tin (I use a rectangular pyrex thing).
2. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180°.
3. Allow to cool and cut into desired size squares.

1. For biscuits, roll mixture into balls and place on a greased baking tray.
2. Press balls down gently with a fork.
3. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180°
4. Allow to cool
