Taste of New Zealand: ANZAC Biscuits

So I'm halfway through my New Zealand trip and what better way to celebrate than another Kiwi inspired recipe.

Anzac biscuits are super easy to make and can be made either chewy or crunchy, depending on how you like them!

An Anzac biscuit is a sweet biscuit, which is found in both Australia and New Zealand. Its main ingredients are porridge oats, delicious golden syrup and desiccated coconut.

This recipe is from Food to Love, so be sure to go and check out all their other DELICIOUS recipes, you won't regret it.

1 cup plain flour
1 cup caster sugar
1 cup desiccated coconut
2 cups rolled oats
125g butter
2 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp baking soda
3 tbsp boiling water

Method:

Heat oven to 180C.
Line two baking trays.
Place flour, caster sugar, coconut and oats in a bowl and stir to combine.
Make a well in the centre.
Place the butter and golden syrup in a saucepan to melt, or microwave in a bowl to melt.
Dissolve the baking soda in boiling water. Add the melted ingredients and dissolved baking soda to thedry ingredients and mix well to combine.
Roll spoonfuls of the mix into balls and press onto your prepared baking trays, allowing space for biscuits to spread while cooking.
Bake the biscuits for 15 minutes or until firm and golden brown.
Remove to a wire rack to cool completely, and enjoy with a mug of tea or a good old glass of milk.

Rosemary, Black Pepper and Sea Salt Scones

Image
Hello! Today's recipe is a makeshift one. I fancied making some scones, but wasn't too sure what type or what shape to make, and so I ended up picking some fresh rosemary from the garden, and pairing it with some cracked black pepper and sea salt flakes. They turned out pretty scrummy! Ingredients 2 cups plain flour 4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp sea salt flakes, plus a little extra to finish 1 tsp sugar 1 tbsp. butter 1 tbsp. freshly chopped rosemary (or 1 tsp of dried) 1 cup milk (I didn't use the whole cup full, but you can use the remainder for washing before baking.) Method Pre-heat the oven to 220C. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl, and rub in the butter. Add the rosemary, and mix again, before adding the milk. Combine with your hands to form a soft dough. Roll out on to a floured board to 1.5 inch thickness and cut into either rounds or squares. I also shaped some of mine into a doughnut shape by rolling out a section of the dough into a long thin ...
