Anzac Slice
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup desiccated coconut
- ¾ cup sugar (I used raw sugar, however you can also use caster, white or brown sugar)
- 140g unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven 160ºC and line a slice tray with baking paper.
- Sift flour into a mixing bowl.
- Add rolled oats, coconut and sugar. Stir dry ingredients together.
- Melt butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan over medium low heat
- In a small bowl, mix together bicarb soda and boiling water. Add this to the butter mixture and stir well. The butter mixture will start to foam.
- Pour the foaming butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared slice pan, spread out the mixture and using the back of a spoon, flatten the surface of the slice.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden on top.
Notes
- Allow the slice to cool in the pan.
- I like to refrigerate my slice before cutting.
