Anzac Biscuits
Australian
Anzac Biscuits, (sometimes called "Bickies"), are
actually cookies and not what we would call biscuits. This
recipe came directly from Australia. Dixie Allison's brother was
living there and he sent her this recipe. She gave a copy to me.
There are no eggs, salt or added flavorings. These cookies are
easy to make and are quite delicious.
Stir
together in a mixing bowl and set aside:
1 Cup
Flour
1 Cup
Granulated Sugar
1 Cup
Shredded Coconut
1 Cup
Oatmeal
Either
microwave the following just until melted, or heat in a pan over
medium heat:
1/2
Cup Margarine
1
Tablespoon Honey
Pour
cooled margarine & honey mixture into dry ingredients with
the mixer on a medium to slow speed. The dough will be crumbly
and will resemble pie pastry dough.
In a
separate bowl, combine the following:
1
Teaspoon Baking Soda
2
Tablespoons Hot Water
The
baking soda and hot water will become foamy. Pour this into the
premixed ingredients. As you add the liquid, the dough will set
up.
Drop
by level tablespoon (2-bite scoop) onto ungreased baking sheet.
Bake
at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Cookies
will be crispy when first baked and will soften if left out.
Makes
3+ dozen cookies. |
