I got dried, shaved, unsweetened organic coconut and tried again. This time they came out amazing!!! I'm so pleased. They're way better than my last try. I'll definitely be making more Anzac biscuits now. They're a huge hit and taste wonderful. Thanks, Steve!
I am an Australian and I can vouch Anzac Biscuits are wonderful. And nothing better homemade biscuits. And thank you Steve for calling them Biscuits and not cookies. :)
I have decided to try baking for the first time in my life, because of all the time on my hands during the pandemic. I feel like a pro, thanks to your recipe. I fell in love with these cookies that I first enjoyed in a bakery in Napa, CA. I ordered golden syrup on line, and followed your easy peasy instructions. My partner said these are better than the bakery's, and that I am his star baker! Sending your video and recipe on to my friends! Good on you, Steve
This is mine & hubbys favorite biscuit. We took them to America for my friend who has a cooking & review channel to try. They loved them. These look wonderful! Home made always taste better. Thanks Steve.
Thanks Steve, its a great recipe and really simple too, they came out looking great and with a deliciously chewy texture. I will be keeping this recipe with my other favourite ones. Thanks Again. 👍
Gday Steve, I think you nailed a secret with the mix................the butter, syrup, soda mix...................I have never done that before and it makes bloody good sense. Need to make 100 of these babies for work on Thursday afternoon.
I work in iraq and just had some anzac biscuits for the first time. Some of your lads were here and shared them. Wonderful.thankyou and God bless. Mark Young mitchellville iowa usa. And iraq.
This is exactly the way it's supposed to be done; with diluted bicarb causing melted butter to froth and biscuits taken out to cool while still soft :) Thanks for simple explanation. I'm tripling ratios of ingredients and replacing castor sugar with brown sugar. Hope they work!
They’re fantastic. But adjust the temp settings in de description. Video shows 170C vs 180C in the description. My first batch came out to dark. Thank you 🙏
Hi again, they turned out flatter this time as I weighed ingredients! I notice you include the weight measurements as well in your recipe now so that was helpful. Thanks.
Is it weird that I really enjoy listening to this video? I’ve recently been listening to audiobooks nonstop and have been picky on narrators, but I could listen to your voice anytime. Ever think about going into the biz?
Steve's Kitchen And, these are amazing! The perfect cuppa coffee accompaniment. I'm glad I used a 3qt. pot for the butter. That foaming up reaction was impressive. But I love the result.Why isn't that process used more often?
Lisa Boban It is fun Lisa and it's the traditional way for Anzacs but you are right, that method is rarely used in other cookies or biscuits.. I am glad you liked them.. :o)
Thanks Steve, I made a stack of these from your recipe to sell from my coffee van over the Anzac weekend. All profits from gold coin donations are going to RSL charity. Mmmm I may have snuck one for quality control purposes lol
Actually, as a Clinical Psychologist, and an ex-chef, I looked into the history of the ANZAC Biscuit and came up with an astonishing detail. First, let me say that like many things, people just copy down and publish what preceded their own publication, which, incidentally, my first international publication was based upon. Somebody, a person unknown, did that with the ANZAC Biscuit and like blind sheep, everybody followed suit. Sorry, but all made the same mistake by copying and publishing incorrect information. (Even Wikipedia has it wrong.) When I contacted the National Army Museum in Canberra, the staff conducted research and informed me that they have no record of any kind of such biscuits ever being at Gallipoli. However, they informed me that the biscuits were often eaten at public events such as galas, fetes, parades, and other public events, and the proceeds were given to support the war effort. Both the Australian and New Zealand governments legislated them to be only called biscuits as the word cookie is not used in British, Australian or New Zealand English but is from the U.S.A. 'nuf sed. plamuk aka travellingchef.
Steve, I love your chef's jackets. If you don't mind telling, where did you get them? Looking forward to making some of your Devonshire fudge for our upcoming holiday here in the states. Thank you for all of your great videos.
The weights and volumes are NOT interchangeable! When I used the scale, the cookie “dough” was very wet, almost greasy. The cookies came out flat and delicious but I had to cool them on paper towels to make sure people’s hands weren’t shiny after eating them. I tried the recipe a second time with volume measurements and these cookies were drier and almost too dry to form into golf ball sized servings. During cooking they never flattened out and almost look like drop biscuits in America. They still tasted moist inside though.
Use the weights they are more accurate. I weigh my dry ingredients even though I use a cup to put it in the bowl, weights are essential. I only say cups to please American viewers, many of whom refuse to weight flour. As for interchangeable, weights and volume are extremely interchangeable, volume do work perfectly well for liquids and some dry goods they just don't work so well but items like flour. The only items in this recipe that I would say is essential to weigh is the flour and oats.
Hi Steve, just tried ur recipe, they r super easy and super yummy! My daughter loves them so thanks so much. One question though, mine didn't spread like yours did.. Any tips on that?
really looks amazing .. I'll give it a try .. can I substitute the white sugar with Demerara brown sugar, and golden syrup with maple syrup? i'm trying to avoid white sugar but would like to have the same taste and texture
You can substitute those things but it won't be a traditional Anzac, still nice though :o) With Maple you might need to increase the flour ratio a little as it's thinner..
thanks a lot for your prompt response :-) I've learnt that 1 cup sugar equals 2/3 cup of maple syrup, so I guess no need to increase flour amount .. what do you think?
i am so excited to make these - i'm a huge Great War devotee as well, so that adds to it. only question - maybe i'm unfamiliar, but desiccated coconut doesn't seem like it's a product that's widely available in the US. would typical unsweetened shredded coconut flakes do? the texture looks like it's completely different, though - i'm prepared to chop them up a little bit to see if that helps.
Hi.. the coconut should add a flavour but not necessarily a texture, so while your shredded coconut will do, I would certainly try to make it as fine as possible, closer to sand than flour.. good luck 👍
How long will these last if they're vacuum sealed? How about in the refrigerator in a container with lid? thanks anyone who can answer this. I want to make some foods that will last a few months as a way of prepping for any potential disasters.
Thank you for the recipe and great Video. I have a question. Could a person substitute Maple syrup or combine maple syrup with honey, instead of Golden syrup? Again, I want to thank you. You do a great job of making cooking easy. Blessings from Thailand.
It's the fairly high Sugar Fat Content, it actually would take a lot more flour and they would stay fairly thick, but it's not the way for these sweet Biscuits :o) Thanks
Hi Steve, saw Anzac biscuits on a New Zealand t.v show and had to try them. Followed your recipe, when I added the wet to the dry, the resulting mixture was very wet (not like yours in the video). Not sure if I added too much butter (did measure). Instead of biscuits I ended up with a large Anzac flapjack. Taste was still awesome, really enjoyed making them and will make them again and hopefully end up with biscuit shaped biscuits. If you have any tips on rescuing a wet mixture it would be appreciated. 👍🏼
Although I do supply the cup measurements, you really do need to weigh the ingredients, to get the perfect Anzac. It maybe that you are using cups? which are so inaccurate. ?
@@Steve-OwensYou're right, I did use cup measurements, bought special cup measures from the baking shop, I'm from the UK so not used to the whole cup measure malarkey. I'll weigh out the dry ingredients next time. Will let you know if I'm more successful second time around. Many thanks
no it wont be an anzac, but an oatmeal biscuit...i did make it without the coconut and it still tasted good..crispy on the outside and chewy soft inside..
The harlequin jacket! Do you have the jester hat with bells on it to go with that? (Just joking...) Love your recipe and explanation as to what is happening in each stage. I've only ever made Anzac bikkies with brown sugar though. Why have you chosen why sugar? Does it make much of a difference?
this chefs tunic has far more in design commons with an early court jesters costume of the late mediaeval periods of the venetian dojes kings queens court & entertainment arts! although the pointy tri point hat is missing and long winkle picker shoes!!
Steve's Kitchen i shall soon be over to personally inspect your work!! & tunic high fashion choices!! those anzac biscuits look quite nice i may give them a wazz tmw!! whilst dressed in far more proper formal chefs attire of cse!! we have such a long way to go to truly make australia cultural! i hear elvis presley impersonator festival in the towns around sydney this year is massive interests by a recession hit public is going pretty big this year!! generates 31m $$$ ozzy bucks!! sounds like a good festival to sell some anzac biscuits!!
Hello steve I have viewed some of your bread baking videos and although this has nothing to do with the video i was wondering what types of breads would be best for beginners thank you,abby
Hi Abby, funny you should mention that, I am working on a new series called Bread making for beginners (maybe). I hope to have it completed in the next month or so, look out for it. What bread would you like to master??
Steve's Kitchen Hello, thank you for responding I have trying to master cinnamon bread. Whenever i make it my bread seems heavy and the cinnamon is barely noticeable. I am not quite sure if it is because I don't have a standby mixer or if it is the ingredients. From, abby
Well, having used coconut flour for coconut, it came out too dry, but a lovely flavor. However, rescue remedy now in play to improve the rest of the dough.
I had to adulterate the recipe, my apologies, but to make up for the dryness I added a small egg and some vanilla. This gave them a scone-like consistency, but they still weren't melting out. So I tried adding 1/4 cup oil and cooking for 15 minutes at 350°F. This didn't help it spread out, but gave the biscuit a nicer toasty look. So even though my first attempt fell short, I still managed to turn out a biscuit that was still a hit. Next time I'll try our American shredded dried baking coconut and grind it finer in the blender first and hopefully that will do the trick.
Out of the 3 variations I tried, the first one still tastes best, even though it's too dry, so off to the store today to get some coconut and give it another go.
Hey Steve I have a question. When I made the no bake tiramisu cheesecake mine tasted amazing but fell apart pretty easy. Do you know what might have caused it
Hi Andrew, great question but can I ask you to ask it on the Cheesecake Video, so others might benefit from the answer on that Recipe.. Cheers. and thanks again. ua-cam.com/video/YyC1taqe6Ow/v-deo.html Steve
Critter T Anzac is an acronym for Australian New Zealand Army Corps. The recipe originated from Adelaide, Australia and was used to bake biscuits to send to the soldiers in WW1 fighting in the trenches. They were sent to both Australian and New Zealand soldiers who were close allies and fighting together. They are celebrated on Anzac Day (April 25th) every year by Australians and New Zealanders. I
reena monteiro No, it's because somehow you made the dough too dry, adding a little extra flour will make the cookies hold the form more, less flour and they spread more, it's a very small difference though maybe 2 or three tablespoons. The fan has no effects.
I just made it and was a bit underwhelmed until I watched the video again and noticed he used desiccated coconut instead of plain coconut. This would make all the difference because it, in effect, becomes another flour type ingredient that would change its consistency. In addition, I didn't do a FULL boil of the water to mix with the baking soda so again it might be a change. And last your recipe says the oven temp should be 350 when this video says 340. I'll report when I do the next batch. Sorry, Steve, just telling you what happened. They still turned out great but just a little wetter than they should be.
I appreciate very much that you include directions and measurements for us odd folk in the U.S..
Thank you Dannie that means a lot as I do try to.. :)
I like this recipe best - thanks for sharing! Look so yummy

Actually, as a Clinical Psychologist, and an ex-chef, I looked into the history of the ANZAC Biscuit and came up with an astonishing detail.

Somebody, a person unknown, did that with the ANZAC Biscuit and like blind sheep, everybody followed suit.

There is a store made version Anzac to which I enjoy. I do not think I will go back to it after this. My glands watered
Thank you Andrea, I wonder which store bought that is :o) I have some that I like too but home made is something special.. :) Thank you 🙄
Grate some orange zest into the dry ingredients, it so improves the flavour. X
Maybe but that is not and Anzac..

I am sure you can Daniel, although they would not me Anzacs in that case, is it that you can't get Golden Syrup?

It's the fairly high Sugar Fat Content, it actually would take a lot more flour and they would stay fairly thick, but it's not the way for these sweet Biscuits :o) Thanks
Wonderful! We will give these a Homeschool spin as soon as I find out what Golden Syrup is other than honey? :)
You can use honey it will work
Tali Lang Golden Syrup is a light form of treacle. As well as honey, maple syrup can be substituted.

Loved the recipe. Mine didn't turn out as flat as yours. Used maple syrup instead of golden syrup. Maybe that's why.
I suspect it's more likely your flour quantity was a little high? Did you use scales?
Cud u pls let me know the 1 cup quantity in gms.
i just seen a great potato recipe.boil potatoe holow out potato fill with cheese then rap around with bacon then heat at 210 c
Nice Jasper, we do that but I mix the Cheese back with the Potato, do they use the mash?
no
no
maybe but i dont fink so
Is desecrated coconut necessary? I am not quite fond of coconuts.
Can you make sesame breadsticks?
how long will they last if you vacuum seal them in mylar bags?
Can I use honey instead of golden syrup and almond meal instead of coconut?
You can and they would be nice but not Anzacs :o)
Hi steve...can i reduce the sugar to half of cup..tq
Not for Anzacs but you could try
Hi, tried this great recipe. but somehow my dough remain round instead of melt down to thin pieces. What went wrong?
What brand of scales did you use?
Can you make them without coconut ?
Yes but they wouldn't be Anzacs.
That looks a whole lot more than 115g of butter
hi Chef I tried ur recipe step by step .. but they did not spread as Urs... can u help why so?
Are you weighing your ingredients ?
Yes I am .. is it because my oven doesn't have a fan in it ? Hot air not blowing can that be the reason ?
reena monteiro No, it's because somehow you made the dough too dry, adding a little extra flour will make the cookies hold the form more, less flour and they spread more, it's a very small difference though maybe 2 or three tablespoons. The fan has no effects.
Okay shall try again. ... thanku so much
Hiya Steve, I'm not a coconut fan.
What can I change with that instead? Chopped almonds/ walnuts can do??
Thanks so much :)
It can, yes, they won't be Anzacs but they will be nice.
Is it okay if I use honey or maple syrup instead of the golden syrup?
It's OK.. It's not right but is sure is OK..
Brown sugar it should be
I just made it and was a bit underwhelmed until I watched the video again and noticed he used desiccated coconut instead of plain coconut. This would make all the difference because it, in effect, becomes another flour type ingredient that would change its consistency. In addition, I didn't do a FULL boil of the water to mix with the baking soda so again it might be a change. And last your recipe says the oven temp should be 350 when this video says 340. I'll report when I do the next batch. Sorry, Steve, just telling you what happened. They still turned out great but just a little wetter than they should be.
Follow it correctly and then let me know, because this National Biscuit is far from Underwhelming LOL
Not a coconut fun, u think it can work without??
They won't be Anzacs without, try it you might be surprised :o)
hhhh i promiss i will and give you a feedback, thanks
