Burnt Butter ANZAC Biscuits

In partnership with Mainland

We’ve turned up the flavour on the traditional ANZAC biscuit by incorporating burnt butter. It might sound crazy, but we’ve simply melted and cooked our Mainland Butter until it’s golden brown and filled with nutty aromas. It adds a layer of flavour to these classic biscuits that we think you’ll love.

Prep time – 15 mins

Cooking time – 15 mins

Serves 10

Ingredients:

Dry ingredients

135g	plain flour
55g	desiccated coconut
110g	rolled oats
150g	soft brown sugar
Pinch of	flakey sea salt

Wet ingredients

175g	Mainland Unsalted Butter
50g	golden syrup
1 tablespoon	water
¾ teaspoon	baking soda

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 160°C bake. Line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Then continue to cook it, swirling the pan until the butter starts to foam and turns golden brown. Watch it carefully, so that you don’t take it too far. Pour the butter into a separate mixing bowl to cool slightly.
4. Add the golden syrup and water to the cooked butter and mix well.
5. Whisk in the baking soda (it will bubble and foam up).
6. Use a spatula to scrape the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together.
7. Taking two tablespoons of mixture at a time, form an evenly-shaped ball. Place on the baking tray, leaving space for the biscuits to spread when baking.
8. Bake the biscuits for 15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
9. Remove and let them cool before serving.
