Lest we forget

Being Australian means many things; having a bbq every weekend, warning foreigners about the dangers of drop-bears (look up and survive) and pretending that we make good beer.

It also means baking up some wicked biscuits and enjoying them with tea. And I don't care if you don't like tea, you WILL enjoy them with tea.

Anzac Biscuits

Ingredients:
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1 cup caster sugar (brown sugar is typically used but caster sugar works just as well)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup butter
- 2 tablespoons honey (again, golden syrup is typically used but I had none and honey tastes good too)

1.       Melt honey and butter together in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds.

2.       Place flour, sugar and oats in a mixing bowl. You can sift the flour if you like, but I’ve found that sifting never really makes much difference.

3.       Stir in the honey and butter mixture.

4.       Roll into small balls and bake at 150 degrees Celsius until golden-brown.

5.       Serve with tea!  

 

Being Australian means remembering and respecting our soldiers, but I'd like to take this opportunity to respect all soldiers, of all nationalities, who have given their lives for a cause they believed in.

Lots of love,
