My ANZAC poppy and buscuits

In our self- isolation our teacher told us to do either 2 or more things on this page and i chose to make ANZAC biscuits and a really nice picture of a poppy. so what I did to make ANZAC biscuits

Ingredients:                                                                             

1 cup Edmonds Standard Grade Flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ¾ cups rolled oats
½ cup Chelsea White Sugar or Chelsea Raw Sugar¼ cup (firmly packed) Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar1 cup desiccated coconut
125g Tararua Butter, cubed
¼ cup Chelsea Golden Syrup Tin2 Tablespoons water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Pre-heat oven to 150°C conventional bake. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
 In a medium sized bowl, sift together the Edmonds Standard Grade Flour and cinnamon. Add the rolled oats, coconut and sugars; mix well.

 Combine the Tararua ButterChelsea Golden Syrup and water in a small saucepan and stir over low-medium heat until the Tararua Butter melts and the mixture is well combined (ensure the mixture does not simmer or boil). Remove from heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda. Add immediately to the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon to stir until well combined.

 Roll 1-2 tablespoons of mixture into balls and place onto tray about 5cm apart. Use your fingers to flatten each slightly (until they are about 1cm thick) and bake for 16 minutes (for a chewy biscuit) or 20 minutes for a crunchier biscuit.

 Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Keep in an airtight container for up to a week.

and this is what the ANZAC biscuits looked like








Now for the poppy. I basically just got my laptop got a pen and pencil, search "ANZAC poppy" went on to a nice picture and sketched it, then I traced the drawing with the pen and coloured it in. And I got this, hope you like it.

  1. It's times like this that I wish we weren't all self-isolating, Jimi, because then I would get in the car and come to try some ANZAC biscuits! 😆 Good job on your sketch as well. I look forward to reading more blog posts from you soon.
