Anzac Slice

We love a good Anzac bikkie, and this bake and take slice is perfect for handing around with a cup of tea at early morning remberances.

Makes: 32

INGREDIENTS

1½ cups rolled oats 
1½ cups plain flour 
2/3 cup caster sugar 
1 cup desiccated coconut
140 grams butter 
¼ cup golden syrup 
1 teaspoon baking soda 
1 tablespoon water

EQUIPMENT: 28 x 18cm tin

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 170˚C fan bake. Grease a 28 x 18cm tin and fully line with baking paper.

Combine the oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a large mixing bowl. Melt the butter and golden syrup together in a saucepan over a medium heat.

Take off the heat and cool for a few minutes. Mix the baking soda and water together and add to the melted butter mixture - it will froth up.

Pour into the dry ingredients and stir to combine well. Tip into the tin and press down firmly. 

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Leave in the tin to cool, then slice into pieces and store in an airtight container.
