Anzac Slice

This ANZAC Day I chose to not make biscuits, but instead a slice version.

Just as delicious of course!

Actually a little easier because you don't have to roll the mixture into balls ... just throw into a slice pan!

Ingredients:

1 cup Rolled Oats / Old-Fashioned Oats

1 cup Plain / All Purpose Flour

⅔ cup Brown Sugar

⅔ cup Desiccated Coconut

125g Butter

¼ cup Golden Syrup

½ teaspoon Bicarb Soda

2 tablespoon Water

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180C or 160C (fan-forced), and grease a standard slice pan.
Combine oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a mixing bowl.

Place butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over medium heat.  Stir for 2 minutes, or until the butter has melted.  Remove the saucepan from the heat.  Mix bicarb with the 2 tablespoon of warm water, then add to the saucepan.  The butter will appear frothy – this is good. 
Pour the wet ingredients into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients and stir to combine. 

Pour the mixture into the prepared slice pan and press down firmly. 
Bake for 15- 20 minutes or until golden.  Leave in the pan to cool, then slice and serve.
