Well hello there possums.

Glad you finally tried Anzacs angel. I'm sure you've made Twink very jealous.

My recipe for Anzacs has 190g sugar in it. I've never noticed them too sweet before. But I would just experiment next time and use less than the recipe you have.

P.S. It's Anzac Day here on Friday. Guess who will be making a batch then.

Thanks

the recipe i was given pretty much says 1/2 cup of everything and 1/2 tbs of syrup but i may of added a bit too much syrup as that was a guess but not much more than the 1/2 tbs so i dont think that would of done much and with the kids running in and out my kitchen it is quite possible that the cup i used was off as i was using the level inside a whole cup so i might of put too much sugar in think i will try this again but double up so it is all one cup instead of halves.
i have eaten the rest ( would not let the kids have more than one as so sweet bit it did not stop me polishng them off lol)

do you have a weight recipe either in grams or oz rather than cups that i could use? might be safer

and again can i freeze them??

I use Mary Berry's recipe from her Ultimate Cake Book (excellent book btw-everything works).

To make 36 biscuits
melt together
5oz marge or butter (butter tastes better)
1 rounded tbsp golden syrup
6oz sugar

Stir in
3oz self-raising flour
4oz oats
3oz desiccated coconut

Mix well, then put heaped teaspoons of the mixture on greased baking trays.

Bake for 10 mins at 180C/gas 4

Leave to cool for a few mins before lifting off with a palette knife onto a cooling rack.

I might make some for the kids later;)

I've given up making anzacs or hobnobs, as I can't stand the arguements :rolleyes: I made ginger biscuits yesterday, and they're yummy

See, I'd just eat the lot -chocolate and ginger is one of my favourite combinations. Unfortunately I have all the ingredients for these, in fact I have enough to make a double batch. I think these sound like a grown-up kind of biscuit don't you ? I'm sure the flavours will be much too sophisticated for the kids........:drool:

You should teach your children not to argue then Pen Pen. Off to the bad mothers thread you go.

Angel - I have posted the recipe for Anzacs I use in the recipe thread somewhere but I just can't seem to find it atm. :rolleyes: I've never froze them so not sure about that. Thriftlady's is different, hasn't got the bi-carb. They are not true anzacs. Just wannabe's.

See what I mean about arguements :rolleyes:

thrifty - the ginger biscuits will be far too [STRIKE]good[/STRIKE] sophisticated for your children. I advise you to [STRIKE]eat them all [/STRIKE]keep them to yourself :T

I'm not arguing with that PP -especially as my Anzacs turn out to be wannabes :rotfl:

I've never found anzacs too sweet, we've just finished my last batch here. I use honey not syrup though, it tastes different, and there is bicarb in mine
