ANZAC biscuits.

Lots of history in these biscuits.

Remember not to burn your butter and Golden Syrup. Add the baking Soda to the boiling water and then pour into the melted butter and golden syrup. Then add this to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Roll into balls. The biscuit mix should not stick to your hands. Add a little flour if it does. If it is too dry, add a little more water.
