ANZAC Biscuits

Preparation time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 5-10 minutes Makes/Serves: ~30

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup caster sugar

¾ cup dessicated coconut

1 cup plain flour, sifted

125 g butter, melted

2 tablespoons Golden Syrup

1 tsp bicarb soda

3 tablespoons boiling water

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, no fan.  (If your oven is fan forced, drop it down to 160 degrees)

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Place the oats, coconut, flour and sugar in a bowl, stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Melt the butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat.  In a separate bowl,  combine the bicarb and boiling water, then add this to the butter/syrup mixture.  It will probably foam up and increase in size. That’s good. Pour this foaming mess into your dry mix and stir.

Once it’s all combined, roll into golfball sized balls, or, using a spoon, drop mixture onto trays, spacing them about 6cm apart.

Bake for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown.  Sometimes if your oven is a bit shit, like mine, you need to rotate the trays by 180 degrees halfway through baking so you get an even bake.

Cool on trays, or transfer to wire racks.

A/N

These are literally the EASIEST biscuits to make on the PLANET, and an added bonus - they are so rich in history!

Store in an old biscuit tin that you found in an op shop, or swiped from your grandma. They’ll last months. I’m not joking. Try not to scoff them all within the day. It’s hard, I know.

I technically eat half the ingredients but I’ll be damned if that’ll stop me from eating these, that’s how good these are.

Anzac Ice Cream Sandwiches

This year’s must have been a particularly poignant ANZAC Day for those who marched at dawn in New Zealand, as the country’s still mourning the lives lost in Christchurch. I always think days of remembrance are important to honour not only the young men and women who fought a hundred years ago in a World War they hoped would be the last, and all the men and women who fought hoping for a freer, better world since; but also the people a nation lost and mourns, and misses.

On a sweeter (literally), more joyous note, I made these quintessentially Kiwi Anzac Ice Cream Sandwiches today; because I’ve always loved the story behind the bikkie. A story of love, essentially, and on days like these it is also vital to remember love.

Ingredients (makes 3 ice cream sandwiches):

9 Anzac Biscuits of even size

3 generous scoops Hokey Pokey Ice Cream, slightly softened

Spoon one scoop Hokey Pokey Ice Cream onto the base (flat side) of an Anzac Biscuit. Top with another Anzac Biscuit, and press slightly, to sandwich Ice Cream evenly, between both Biscuits. Repeat with remaining Biscuits and Hokey Pokey Ice Cream.

Serve Anzac Ice Cream Sandwiches immediately.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Prince William, amongst many, attended the ANZAC Day Civil Service in Auckland today.

When a foodie goes to Melbourne: By night

Fave eating after dark in #Melbourne is just about 'getting stuffed'

I spent two and a half weeks in Melbourne (the one in Australia not Florida – just to be clear) over the Christmas-New Year period visiting family and catching up with a few friends. It was hot – much hotter than I’m used to even in the warmer parts of Europe – but that did not stop me from doing loads and eating even more.

Last time I tap-tap-tapped away about the high points of our daytime…

Lessons From The Traveling Dog

Lessons From The Traveling Dog

As I attempted to open the front door this morning. I quickly realized that Otis, the neighbor’s bulldog, had decided to sleep in front of it. Otis occasionally visits because he likes the biscuits we give him. Dogs are matter-of-fact creatures. They figured out through evolution that if they just use their eyes, they can stare a hole through the thickest wall of resistance and gain emotional…
