New theme + cooking!

Hey guys,

So the Easter theme is now officially over, even though Easter is on Sunday, now our new theme is.....

WW1!

We have this theme because of the ANZACS, who fought at Gallipoli in 1916.  ANZAC stands for Australia New Zealand Army Corps. Our ANZAC day is coming up on the 25th of April, the day the soldiers landed in Gallipoli.

ANYWAY, enough history for now......

Oh, now we have some yummy cooking from Grandma Tailbury!

This is a real recipe, which comes from a really nice cookbook, and, of personal experience, these taste REALLY good..... Right now I'm craving one. Yummmmm.
These cookies were made in the war, Mrs Tailbury tells me. The wives sent them to the soldiers.
Well, that explains it.

Here we go!


ANZAC BISCUITS:

You will need:

1 cup of flour
1 cup of thread coconut
2/3 cup of tightly packed brown sugar
1 cup jumbo rolled oats
125g unsalted butter
2 TBSP golden syrup
1/2 TSP baking soda
2 TBSP boiling water

1. Preheat ove to 160 degrees Celsius. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

2. Place flour, coconut, sugar and oats into a mixing bowl and stir to combine. I'm sorry for the random quality failure in this pic.....

3. Melt butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over a medium heat. While this is melting, place baking soda in a bowl, add boiling water, and stir. As it fluffs up, stir into butter mixture.

4. Quickly pour butter mixture over the dry ingredients while still fluffy. Stir to combine.

My apologies for Mrs Tailburys lack of oven gloves.
Please wear the mitts or gloves, because I don't want anyone to burn themselves.

5. Using a TBSP, roll spoonfuls of mixture into balls and place 3CM apart on prepared trays, flattening them slightly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.

Now she has the oven gloves!!!

Its so cute!!!












Now, you can enjoy your cookies with your grandchildren!!!

Yummy!!

I hope you've enjoyed this recipe as much as I had taking these cute photos.











Happy Anzac day,



Lucy :)
