ANZAC BISCUITS (COOKIES)



Anzac Biscuits (Cookies) image

Anzac biscuits are a traditional Aussie biscuit that were baked by the wives and mothers during World War I and packed into food parcels to be shipped to the soldiers. They included basic staple items as food was rationed during the war and times were hard. Today they are enjoyed as a good everyday basic biscuit and many Aussies bake these cookies to remember our soldiers and history on Anzac Day 25 April. This recipe uses Australian metric measurements- 1 tablespoon = 4 teaspoons

Provided by Jubes

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 50 biscuits, 50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups rolled oats, dry uncooked oats
1 3/4 cups desiccated coconut
2 cups plain flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar (can use more white sugar here if you dont like brown sugar)
250 g butter (1 cup butter)
2 tablespoons golden syrup (8 teaspoon equivelant)
3 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda (bicarb soda)
3 tablespoons boiling water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 160C (if using fan-forced oven) or 180°C Line biscuit trays with a quality baking paper or lightly grease with butter.
  • Using a large mixing bowl -- combine the oats, coconut, flour and sugars.
  • Using a small saucepan or microwave -- melt the butter and golden syrup together. Set aside.
  • Using a cup -- mix the boiling water and bicarb soda together. Add this mixture to the melted butter. The mixture will foam up.
  • Add the butter to the dry ingredients and combine thoroughly.
  • Note -- if the mixture is too crumbly the biscuits will not hold together -- add a small amount of water. I've posted a photo of how I like my mixture to look. You should be able to get a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it together/push into shape of a cookie. Add too much water and your biscuits will flatten out totally during cooking.
  • Using your hands. Roll into balls and flatten slightly. These cookies do spread whilst baking -- so I usually place 12 to a cookie sheet/baking tray.
  • Place on baking trays and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cooking longer will give a crunchier biscuit or less time a softer biscuit. I like mine to be crisp. Total cooking time will depend on how many cookies/trays can fit in your oven at a time.
  • Cool on trays for 5 to 10 minutes before moving to a rack to cool.
  • If biscuits are too soft they can be returned to the oven and cooked further.

ANZAC BISCUITS



Anzac Biscuits image

These biscuits (cookies in America) are called Anzacs because they were baked by Australian women and sent to their ANZAC soldier sons/husbands serving in Europe and Middle east during WW I. It was more like 2 months before they were received back then, so they certainly do travel well! :-) ** Please note that 1 Australian Tablespoon = 20 mls whereas in most others countries it = 15 mls.

ANZAC BISCUITS WITH MACADAMIA NUTS



Anzac Biscuits With Macadamia Nuts image

Something different; not tried so the time is just a guesstimate. You need to allow time for the toasted macadamia nuts to cool before cooking them; not sure how long that would take.

Provided by Debbie R.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 1h10m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup chopped and toasted macadamia nuts
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter

Steps:

  • To toast nuts: Put them in an ungreased, shallow baking pan in a single layer. Bake at 325 for 3 - 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through (or just give the pan a good shake). Once you start smelling them or they are a golden brown, take them out of the oven. Don't leave them in the cooking pan; put into another cool pan/plate to cool. Chop them.
  • Combine the flour, rolled oats, sugar, coconut and cooled macadamia nuts.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the water, honey and baking soda. Bring to a boil, then stir in the butter. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then stir into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon.
  • Place tablespoons of dough onto the cookie sheets lined with parchment. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon. Leave a little room between cookies. Bake at 325 for 9 to 12 minutes (perhaps up to 15 min for crunchy). Remove from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks.

to Anzac Biscuits

Anzac biscuits, also known as Anzac cookies, are sweet biscuits that are commonly eaten in Australia, New Zealand, and other Commonwealth countries as a remembrance of the soldiers who fought in World War I, especially in the Gallipoli Campaign in Turkey in 1915. The name "Anzac" stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. Anzac biscuits are traditionally made with rolled oats, desiccated coconut, flour, sugar, butter, golden syrup or honey, baking soda, and water. They are chewy in texture and have a slightly caramelized flavor. Anzac biscuits have become an iconic part of the Anzac Day commemoration and are still popular among people today.

The History of Anzac Biscuits

The origins of Anzac biscuits are unclear, but it is believed that they were sent by wives, mothers, and charities to soldiers who were fighting in the trenches during World War I. The biscuits were made with basic ingredients that would not spoil easily and were packed in tins to withstand the long journey to the front lines. Anzac biscuits were also sold at home as a way to raise funds for the war effort. The recipe for Anzac biscuits was published in newspapers during the war, and the biscuits quickly gained popularity among the troops.

The Ingredients in Anzac Biscuits

The main ingredients in Anzac biscuits are rolled oats, desiccated coconut, flour, sugar, butter, golden syrup or honey, baking soda, and water. Rolled oats provide the bulk of the texture and flavor in Anzac biscuits. Desiccated coconut adds a distinct tropical flavor and aroma to the biscuits. Flour is added to bind the ingredients together, while sugar is added for sweetness. Butter provides a rich, buttery flavor and texture, while golden syrup or honey helps to caramelize the biscuits and gives them a distinctive flavor. Baking soda is used as a leavening agent, while water is added to dissolve the baking soda and to moisten the dough.

The Process of Making Anzac Biscuits

The process of making Anzac biscuits is fairly simple and straightforward. First, the dry ingredients, including the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, flour, and sugar, are mixed together in a bowl. In a small saucepan, the butter and golden syrup or honey are melted together over low heat until they are smooth and combined. In a separate bowl, baking soda is dissolved in water, and the mixture is added to the melted butter and golden syrup or honey. The liquid mixture is then added to the dry ingredients, and the dough is kneaded until it is well-mixed and firm. The dough is then divided into small balls and flattened onto a greased baking sheet. The biscuits are then baked in a preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges.

Variations of Anzac Biscuits

While the original Anzac biscuit recipe is popular around the world, there are also many variations and adaptations of the recipe that people enjoy. Some recipes call for different types of sweeteners, such as brown sugar or maple syrup, while others use different types of flours, such as whole wheat or almond flour. Some recipes add additional ingredients, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit, for added flavor and texture. Some people even make savory Anzac biscuits by adding ingredients like cheese and herbs.

The Anzac biscuit is a traditional Australian biscuit that is made to commemorate the fallen soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) in World War I. These biscuits were sent to the soldiers overseas as they had a long shelf life and could withstand the long journey. Today, Anzac biscuits are still made in commemoration of the soldiers and are a popular snack all year round. Making Anzac biscuits at home is easy and fun, and in this article, we provide valuable tips for a perfect Anzac biscuit recipe. Tip #1: Use Rolled Oats: Rolled oats are the backbone of the Anzac biscuit recipe. These oats give the biscuit a chewy texture and a distinct flavor that is difficult to replicate with other types of oats. Rolled oats also give the biscuit its characteristic brown color which is essential to the Anzac biscuit’s appearance. Tip #2: Use Desiccated Coconut: Using desiccated coconut in your Anzac biscuit recipe adds an additional layer of texture and flavor to the biscuit. Coconut lends a tropical flavor that is pleasing to the palate and goes well with the other ingredients in the Anzac biscuit recipe. Tip #3: Use Quality Butter: The quality of the butter used in your Anzac biscuit recipe can make all the difference in the final product. Use high-quality butter that is at room temperature. This will allow the butter to cream well with the sugar and give the biscuit its smooth texture. Do not use margarine or low-quality butter, as this will affect the flavor and texture of the biscuit. Tip #4: Use Quality Sugar: To achieve the perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture of an Anzac biscuit, it is essential to use high-quality sugar. Use a mix of brown and white sugar to achieve the perfect balance of sweetness and caramel-like flavor. Do not use granulated sugar or artificial sweeteners, as these will not give you the desired taste and texture. Tip #5: Add Baking Soda to Hot Water: Anzac biscuits need a little help in the leavening department, as they do not have any eggs in the recipe. Baking soda is used in the recipe to give the biscuit its rise. To ensure that the baking soda is activated correctly, mix it with hot water before adding it to the mixture. Tip #6: Use Golden Syrup: Golden syrup is an essential ingredient in Anzac biscuit recipes, and it is what gives the biscuit its distinct flavor. Golden syrup is a thick, amber-colored syrup that has a caramel-like taste. Do not substitute golden syrup with anything else, as this will affect the flavor of the biscuit. Tip #7: Don't Overwork the Dough: When mixing the dough, it is important not to overwork it. Overworking the dough will result in a tough biscuit that is not pleasant to eat. Mix the dough until just combined and then shape it into balls before baking. Tip #8: Flatten the Dough Balls: Flattening the dough balls slightly before baking will result in a thin, crispy biscuit. If you prefer a thicker, chewier biscuit, leave the balls unflattened. Tip #9: Use Parchment Paper: Using parchment paper to line your baking sheet is essential for an easy cleanup and for preventing the biscuits from sticking to the pan. If you do not have parchment paper, make sure that your baking sheet is well-greased. Tip #10: Let the Biscuits Cool Completely: Allow the biscuits to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them. The biscuits will continue to cook slightly as they cool, so do not be tempted to remove them from the baking sheet too quickly. Conclusion: Making the perfect Anzac biscuit is easy and fun. By following these valuable tips, you can achieve a delicious and mouth-watering biscuit that is sure to please everyone. Remember to use high-quality ingredients and not to overwork the dough. Let the biscuits cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet, and enjoy the sweet taste and chewy texture of your homemade Anzac biscuits.
