Anzazc biscuits are easy and cheap, and keep well in an air tight container. Anzac Biscuit Ingredients
1 cup plain flour I cup sugar 1 cup rolled oats 1 cup desiccated coconut 4 oz butter 2 tablespoons boiling water 1 tablespoon golden syrup 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Anzac Biscuit Directions
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (or approx 375 degrees F).( I cook mine at 150oC) Grease a biscuit tray or line with baking paper. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In a small saucepan over a medium heat (or in a microwave proof jug or bowl in the microwave), combine the butter and golden syrup until the butter has melted. In a small bowl, combine the boiling water and bicarbonate of soda. Add the bicarb and water mixture with the melted butter and golden syrup. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. Dollop teaspoonfuls of the biscuit mixture onto the greased baking tray. Don't forget that the biscuits WILL spread during baking, so make sure you leave room for them to spread! Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Allow the Anzac biscuits to cool on the tray for a few minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

The topping for a pikelet in Aunt Daisy's day was good old golden syrup, and the tip she gave was to mash - 'smoosh' - the butter with the golden syrup before spreading it on the pikelet.

further to the recipe posted in thread 17 for the instant pudding biscuits. I now buy different flavour instant puddings and make different biscuits. If I buy the butterscotch I use the raisins; if I buy a chocolate instant pud then I add choc chips and I have also bought the banana instant pudding and added choc chips to that.They all taste yum :) edited to add that I usually make a couple of batches and get heaps from each batch. I then freeze most of them into smaller quantities after they have been baked so hubby doesn't eat them all at one time. They freeze well.

Homemade fruit leathers • 5 large apples • 1 punnet strawberries • 1 cup water Method: Peel and core the apples, slicing thinly. Hull and halve the strawberries. Place all fruit in a pot with the water. Place a lid on. Cook until soft and then puree with a stick blender. Line a tray with baking paper and pour the fruit mix onto the baking tray. Spread evenly and thinly. Place in the oven and turn on, setting the temperature to 120°C. Prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon. This dehydrating process can take anywhere from 2 hours to 10 hours depending on the type of fruit and the level of moisture left in the mixture. Slice and roll up in cling film to keep. dont need to use strawberries just use what you like.
