Well done Kaikoura … that is the best service I have been to! Yes, today we remember all those who have gone before us and fought in our names. It is ANZAC day. For those of you overseas it is the day that Australians and New Zealanders remember our soldiers and all those lost fighting in wars. The date however is special to those Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who landed on and fought in Gallipoli on 25 April 1915.
Anzac Day in Kaikoura
I have been teaching Infant Massage this morning (just managed to sneak it in before the service began) and since I provide the morning tea sustenance what better than ANZAC biscuits on Anzac day? Again this is hardly a recipe for becoming healthy, although I will post a healthier alternative one of these days, however it is a big part of our lives and something that I only make at this time of year so it seems fitting to pass it on here.
Anzac Biscuits
There are many recipes I know … this one is from the good old Edmonds Cookbook which is another mainstay of kiwi life. 🙂
ANZAC biscuits
- 100 gm butter
- 1 Tablespoon golden syrup
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 Tablespoon hot water
-Melt the butter and golden syrup in a pot.
-Mix in sugar then add in the coconut, oats and flour. Stir one
-Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water and add into the main mixture.
-Place teaspoonful onto a lined tray. The mixture may seem crumbly however if you press it together a little and flatten the teaspoonful it will bake together nicely.
-Bake at 180C for 10-15 minutes or until golden
-Cool on a rack and enjoy.
Hope this finds you safe, free from the worries of war and remembering those who have gone before us.
