  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter gently. Once melted, stir through the golden syrup until mixed through.

  • Using a spoon, scoop the mixture and form into balls. 30g is a good size for each ball.
  • Place the balls of dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure there's plenty of room between them as they will spread out.
  • Flatten the balls out a little with the back of a wet spoon.

  • Bake them in an oven at 180C for around 12 - 15 minutes. They will still be soft when you take them out but will harden up once they're cooled.

Notes

This recipe makes soft Anzac biscuits. I have halved the sugar I would normally put in because I make them for my kids. This makes them a bit softer.
 
If you'd prefer crunchy Anzac biscuits, increase the sugar to 200g and bake them slightly longer - you need them to go a little darker in color to get a crunch!
