Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 cup of oats, and 1 cup of coconut meat. Ensure everything is well combined.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup of butter along with 1/3 cup of maple syrup. Stir occasionally until the butter is fully melted and well combined with the syrup.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the butter and syrup mixture. Stir well to combine. The mixture will froth up a bit; this is normal.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until all the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is evenly moist.
- Scoop out tablespoons of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball. Slightly flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your palm.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. The biscuits will be soft when they come out of the oven, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
With their rich flavors and chewy texture, these Anzac biscuits are a timeless classic that can be enjoyed by all. The simplicity of the recipe, combined with quality ingredients, ensures a delightful treat that will become a household favorite. Treat yourself and your loved ones to these delicious biscuits and celebrate the historical significance they carry.
