Please be cautious while handling hot baking trays and sharp utensils while following this guide.

1

Gather your ingredients

Collect all the necessary ingredients to make the Anzac Biscuits with a modern twist. You'll need 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of plain flour, 1 cup of desiccated coconut, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of melted butter, 2 tablespoons of golden syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 2 tablespoons of hot water.

2

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. This will ensure your biscuits won't stick and make for easy cleanup later.

3

Mix the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, plain flour, desiccated coconut, and brown sugar. Give it a good whisk to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

4

Prepare the wet mixture

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and then add the golden syrup to it. Mix well until the golden syrup is fully incorporated into the melted butter.

5

Activate the leavening agent

In a small cup, dissolve the baking soda in the hot water. Stir until the baking soda is completely dissolved. This will help activate the leavening agent and create a nice texture in your biscuits.

6

Combine and mix

Pour the wet mixture and the dissolved baking soda into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix everything together until you have a sticky dough that holds its shape.

7

Add your twist

This is where the modern twist comes in! Get creative and add your favorite unexpected flavors to the dough. You can try mixing in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt.

8

Shape the biscuits

Take tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the lined baking tray, leaving enough space between each biscuit for spreading while baking.

9

Bake to perfection

Pop the tray into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.

10

Cool and enjoy

Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let the biscuits cool on a wire rack. As they cool, they will become deliciously crispy on the edges and delightfully chewy in the center. Enjoy your modern twist Anzac Biscuits with a cup of tea or a glass of milk!
