Macadamia and ginger Anzac Biscuits

Morning Friends!

Today I'm switching it up and sharing a recipe because this Thursday I will be off celebrating Australia Day! I'm looking forward to a day of friends, food, music, swimming and relaxing. So in celebration of Australia day I'm sharing an Aussie classic with a twist! 

You Will Need 

2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
2 cups traditional rolled oats
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
200g butter, chopped
1/3 cup golden syrup
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Method 

Preheat oven to 180C. Grease 3 large baking trays and line with baking paper. Combine flour, ginger, coconut, oats and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in centre.

Place butter, golden syrup, honey and 1/3 cup cold water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until butter has melted and mixture is combined. Bring to a simmer. 

Remove from heat. Stir in bicarbonate of soda. Stand for 2 minutes.

Add butter mixture to oats. Mix well. Stir in nuts. Roll 1 tablespoon mixture into a ball. Flatten between palms and place on tray. Repeat with remaining mixture, placing biscuits far enough apart so they won't touch when baked. 

Bake biscuits, 1 tray at a time, for 12 minutes or until golden and just firm to touch. Cool on trays for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool fully. 

Enjoy!
