About Me

My photo
I will attempt to update wartime recipes to modern tastes, in order to keep up with new trends, attitudes and approaches to food and it's preparation while still keeping a traditional British wartime feel to recipes. I will start by making recipes to the letter and move forward from there to encompass different modern diets. I will attempt to make meals first fit in to a popular diet plan and then will move on to Vegetarian/Vegan versions. So that everyone can enjoy British wartime recipes. This experiment is for my own amusement as well as to feel closer to my grandparents over the years they cooked and lived through hard times.

Anzac Biscuits -The full fat recipe

These biscuits were originally made to send to the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) serving in Gallipoli during WW1.

Ingredients:

1 cup porridge oats
3/4 cup dessicated coconut
1 cup plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup
2 tablespoons boiling water

Method:

Mix oats, flour, sugar and coconut together. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the syrup and butter together. Mix the soda and the boiling water and add to the melted butter and syrup. Add butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Drop by teaspoons on greased baking tray. Bake at gas mark 4 for 18 to 20 minutes.

Very high in Syns I should think.  I am making them for a party rather than eating them myself!
