Twink, how much will you give me to not let on that Aussie's anzac biscuit recipe is here And before you ask, I don't want paying in hobnobs

Thanks

ok after looking that Aussie's recipe mine is almost identical but half the amounts though it has 1/2 as much coconut and 1/2 as much bicarb and my butter is not in cups but says 2 oz is that the equivalent to 1/2 a cup?

i am going to make some more then freeze half and see if it works will let you know if the frozen ones are ok.

also going to rewrite my recipe with Aussies

ahhhhhh now does brown or white sugar make a difference to the sweetness?

as Aussies says brown sugar but my recipe just said sugar so i used white granulated.

AussieLass

Brown sugar is nicer. Makes them that gorgeous brown tanned colour and not that insipid white [STRIKE]scottish[/STRIKE] colour.

This site could help you converting your ingredients.

Off to check AB's thread. :rolleyes:

I prefer Anzacs Delia's choc-gingers were a bit too hard and didn't spread much during cooking. Not as moreish as the Anzacs and more fiddly to make. But, on the upside -I haven't eaten them all

That surprises me - mine are soft and spread out well. I'll post a pic when I'm back from w*** (if there are any left )

Wonder what I did wrong then:think: I doubled the recipe, but I'm sure I didn't make any mistakes in the quantities. They aren't inedible -OH and the kids like them. Just not my kind of biscuit I suppose.

Well, I shall be making another batch of Anzacs today because today is Anzac Day (and [strike]I [/strike] we ate all the others ).

So to Aussielass and all other antipodean readers -thinking of you today, though I expect it's nearly over by now.
