Roll into balls, flatten and bake!Īpparently, the question of whether Anzac biscuits should be crisp or chewy is a topic of huge debate. The making part is very straight forward – melt butter with golden syrup, add the baking soda then mix it into the dry ingredients. I use 1 part molasses or treacle, and 3 parts honey – the flavour is nearly identical, and the colour is very similar (a bit darker).

It has a bit of a harsh edge to the flavour so I only use it for baking, though some people use it in place of maple syrup for things like pancakes.īest substitute for golden syrup is a combination of light molasses or treacle, plus honey. It’s an amber coloured syrup with the consistency of honey, and it has a toffee flavour. The only ingredient that might not be familiar to those outside of Australia and the UK is golden syrup. I think Anzac biscuits as we know them today are much more to my liking! 😂 Here’s what you need (not much!) I’m told that the original Anzac biscuits were as hard as a rock, so hard in fact that some soldiers would grind them up and use them as porridge. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender and turning translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan as best you can. It is said that the wives of soldiers came up with the original Anzac Biscuits using ingredients such that the biscuits stayed fresh for the weeks it took to reach the soldiers overseas. Add the onion, poblano, bell pepper, jalapeño (if using) and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. And ANZAC Day – 25 April 1915 – is Australia’s most important national occasion each year, marking the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War during which we suffered heavy casualties. “ANZAC” stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The warm sweetness from the golden syrup combined with the wholesome goodness of oats and coconut is a flavour that is unique to this crunchy Australian biscuit!Īustralia’s favourite biscuit! We love them for their buttery caramel flavour, how crunchy they are, that it’s a forgiving recipe and the history – this is a biscuit that Aussies make to commemorate ANZAC Day. That gives them a deliciously zesty zing and my friends all strongly prefer the lemon version.The crunchiness of Anzac Biscuits goes back to the roots of when they were invented – by soldiers’ wives who needed a biscuit recipe that would stay fresh for the months that it would take to reach soldiers overseas back in the early 1900’s. It was fun to try and I personally prefer them this way.īy the way, I’ve made these several times since then, and this recipe can handle lots of experimentation, so just have fun with it! I’ve recently been topping these with a lemon glaze (using lemon juice with powdered sugar instead of the suggested milk). Stir to combine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery and teaspoon of the salt. Delicious, but not the same traditional texture that some people may be going for. In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. The steamed ones are way more fluffy and moist… way more soft and decadent in my opinion. The texture turns out different than the oven-baked rolls. It was an experiment with the extra rolls that didn’t fit into my oven-baking dish. Maybe 20-30 min? I don’t exactly remember (they won’t burn like they would in the oven, so it’s more forgiving of the timing). I put the uncooked rolls in cupcake papers so they wouldn’t stick to the pan, then I steamed them on the stovetop using a vegetable steamer. I got the idea from “steamed buns” that I had enjoyed in Asia.
