ANZAC
BISCUITS (Cookies)
Aussie Mothers baked these & sent
them off to war in airtight packages to loved ones and
sometimes in parcels addressed simply : "TO A SOLDIER"
They travel and keep well... and taste good too!

1 cup AP (Plain) Flour
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup coconut
4 oz (125g) butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon boiling water

bowl.
Combine butter and Golden Syrup
and stir over gentle heat until melted.
Mix soda with boiling water, add to butter mixture and
stir into dry ingredients.

allowing room to spread.

- and we won't tell Grandma :)
Mix all ingredients together forming a semi-dry dough,
then place in floured camp oven. or in a greased &
floured bread pan

Bake at 350 for 50-65 minutes (conventional)
Tear it apart, spread it with butter, honey, or whatever

This
bread is great with a barbecue - goes stale very quickly,
but usually doesn't last that long :)

LAMINGTONS
4 oz Butter
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
¾ Cup Castor Sugar
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
4 Eggs
2 Cups Flour
½ Cup Milk
Pinch Salt
Cream the butter and sugar, add the vanilla essence
and the eggs and mix
in. Now fold in the dry ingredients
adding the milk gradually as you go.
Spoon the mix into a flat cake tray
and bake in a pre-heated oven at
350 degrees
for approximately 45 minutes.
Allow to cool and store overnight
then cut into squares approximately
2 inches square, dip into chocolate
icing (thin frosting) and roll in coconut.
Now you CAN cut to the chase and
use store bought sponge or pound
cake, or take the middle road and
make one with Betty Crocker.. but
it's just not the same :).
