ANZAC Day

ANZAC Day is almost here.  In the past we have tried to make it to a dawn service.  I have been to one at Morningside and one at Wynnum.  The most moving service was the one at Currumbin.  Thousands of people make the annual early morning trek to the Gold Coast to attend this event and I highly recommend it.  Although we had to park ages away and it was quite a bit of a walk, it was definitely well worth it.  That same year we also went to the RSL and played two-up ... so much fun!  It is great to see everybody getting into the spirit and remembering those who served and are serving for our country.

I have just pulled a second batch of yummy ANZAC biscuits out of the oven ... something I always make each year, usually with the kiddos at school. Luke and I have already made a dint in the first batch ... yummo!
Here is the recipe I use:
Ingredients
> 1 cup flour
> 1 cup rolled oats
> 1 cup coconut
> 1 cup sugar
> 155g melted butter
> 1 tsp bicarb soda
> 1 tbs golden syrup
> 2 tbs hot water

Method
> Combine first 4 ingredients and mix.
> Add butter.
> In a bowl, mix together last 3 ingredients.
> Add these to the oats mixture and stir to combine.
> Place small balls of the mixture on an oven tray covered with baking powder.  Evenly space them as they will spread.
> Cook in moderate oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
> Allow to cool and try not to eat them!

Have a great ANZAC Day ... Lest We Forget
