Anzac Biscuits

by Jo

makes about 10-12 biscuits

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup plain flour
1 cup dessicated coconut
¾ cup sugar
2/3 cup vegan margarine (eg. Nuttelex)
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tbsp boiling water

Heat oven to 180 C. Grease 2 baking trays.

In a large bowl mix together the oats, flour, coconut and sugar.

Melt the margarine and golden syrup in a saucepan over a low heat.

Place the bicarbonate of soda into a small bowl and mix with the boiling water. Add this mixture to the melted margarine and syrup.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well.

Roll the mixture into balls (slightly smaller than golf ball size).
Place on baking trays and flatten slightly.

Bake in oven for approximately 15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.

They will still be very soft when you remove them from the oven so let them cool slightly on the tray first before placing on a cooling rack.
