Anzac Biscuits Home Economics

Welcome back to my Blog

For Home Economics we got into a group of two and chose a product to make. We made Anzac biscuits, also we had to pick a stakeholder, our stakeholder was Mrs Ap. We had to do the recipes, the costing of the ingredients and the method. 

We did all the ingredients. The costing was 25 dollars all up for all the ingredients. We made 12 biscuits all up, and five for Mrs Ap. 

The ingredients for Anzac biscuits:

The method

• Step 3 - Melt butter and golden syrup. Dissolve baking soda in the boiling water and add butter and golden syrup. Stir butter mixture into the dry ingredients.

• Step 4 - Place level tablespoonfuls of mixture onto cold greased trays and flatten with a fork.  These don't spread as they bake so you can place them close together.

This Is what my stakeholder said/ Mrs Ap

"Many thanks Jesse and Quaiden for the superb Anzac Biscuits you made and gave to me to sample.

They tasted just like the ones my Granny used to make and she was a great cook. They were nice and crunchy and sweet without being too sugary.  They went beautifully with a cup of tea and it was impossible to eat only one of them. They were baked to perfection (neither under, nor over cooked!:-). Mr. White enjoyed them too".
