ANZAC Slice
250 grams plain flour
250 grams rolled oats
250 grams sugar
250 grams desiccated coconut
200 grams butter
1/4 cup golden syrup
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius and line a tin with baking paper - I used my 20 by 30 cm pan and made a very thick slice, but if you have a bigger pan your slice will be much thinner, so that you can chop it into bars instead of squares.
Now, combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Then place the butter, golden syrup and water in another small bowl or jug and heat it in the microwave until the butter has melted. Stir it well to combine it and then add the baking soda.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix it together well with a large spoon - you might have to use your hands at the end to get the last bits of flour and oats into the mixture. Then press the mixture into your prepared tin.
Bake your slice for about 25 minutes, or a bit longer if you want it sort of crispy. Mine was very soft but I think that if it had been thinner, it would have been quite crispy on the top after 25 minutes.
Let the slice cool completely and then, if you like, frost it with a simple chocolate icing. I made mine by sifting one cup of icing sugar and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder into a bowl, placing about a tablespoon of butter on top and pouring over about 2 tablespoons of boiling water. Give it a good stir until everything is well combined, and if it is too thick add a smidgen more water. Then spread it on!

ANZAC is one of my favourite cookies, I've tried variations but never a slice. Are those meant to be grams or 250ml/1 cup each like the cookie recipe requires? 250 grams rolled oats will be about 3 cups which sounds like a lot
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for your question! It's grams, I know it seems like a lot but I just place my bowl on the kitchen scales and keep on adding. It's about 2 cups of oats and 2 cups of coconut. It will be softer than the cookies. I will try cookies again soon and make sure that those measurements are really the best ones too. And then maybe I'll try chocolate ANZACS? The possibilities are endless!
DeleteHi Jaimie,
ReplyDeleteI just love this cookie, your recipe looks great I will have to try it. Hope you have a wonderful week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!
