Anzac Slice

We love Anzac biscuits in our house and I CANNOT believe it’s taken us this long to get around to making this easy Anzac Slice! ย I decided to turn our favourite afternoon tea treat into aย slice one afternoon a couple of weeks ago as a treat for the boys once they got home from kindy. They are both always ravenous when they get home and I’ve learnt from past tantrums experience that having a snack ready and waiting for them helps reduce some of our witching hour chaos.

Anzac Slice

This recipe is a little different to the Anzac Biscuit recipe I use to ensure there is enough delicious mixture to fill the slice tin, but it still creates a chewy and delicious ‘biscuit’ slice – just the way I like it! ย If you have a Thermomix, you can find instructions to make this yummy slice here.

Easy Anzac Slice

As well as being a great snack, this easy Anzac Slice recipe is also great for the kids lunch boxes and I’ve even frozen it in the past and it defrosts quite well.ย  The only real problem with it, is stopping yourself from eating too many pieces!!

Our big boy was initially a little disappointed to have missed out on helping to do some ‘making’ but as soon as he has devoured a piece (or two) of this Anzac Slice, he soon forgot about what he had missed out on.

Do your kids come home from school/kindy ravenous too?

Ingredients
  

  • 1 & 1/4 cups of plain flour
  • 1 & 1/4 cups of rolled oats
  • 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup of desiccatedย coconut
  • 150 g of ย butter - chopped into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons of golden syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 tablespoons of boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC and line a slice tin (approx 28cm x 18cm) with baking paper. Make sure you leave paperย hanging over the edges to help you remove it from the tin later.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar and coconut using a large metal spoon andย make a well in the centre.
  • Place the butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan and cook over a low heat for 6 - 8ย minutes or until the butter has melted and the ingredients have combined.ย  Make sure toย stir the mixture every minute or so.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the bicarbonate of soda and boiling water. Then remove theย melted butter mixture from the heat and stir in the dissolved bicarbonate of soda mixture.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the well made from the dry ingredients. Use a large metalย spoon to combine.
  • Pour the slice into yourย  prepared pan and using the back of a spoon, press the mixtureย evenly into slice tray.ย  Bake for 25 minutes or until the slice is golden brown.
  • Carefully remove the slice from the oven and allow it to completely cool in the tray.
  • Use the overhanging baking paper to remove the slice from the tin and cut into squares toย serve.

    I think slice is rather nice, and not just because there’s more of it! This looks like the perfect tea time treat!

      My both grandmothers made this slice years ago,& I am in my seventies,I have been making this for years as well,also use honey for an alternate,oh so yummy, but don’t wait until it is cold to cut, do it while warm otherwise it is like cutting concrete.

    I love Anzac biscuits so must try this slice. Looks nice and thick. I’m a bit disorganised and am thinking about all the groceries I need that are not coming in todays grocery delivery. Bugger! Will have to venture out.

    Yum! Another winner of a recipe here. Do you think I could swap the brown sugar for rapadura?

    I *love* ANZAC biscuits. I’ve been on a mission (so far unsuccessful) to master the perfect chewy ANZAC biscuit. I think it’s time for a new mission – this slice!

    Question: Does it freeze OK? I need to practice a little (OK a lot) of out of sight, out of mind with the sweet stuff. ๐Ÿ™‚

    What a great idea! I never thought of doing Anzac bikkies as a slice! My kiddos are always starving after school! Think I may have to make it this week!

    Made this for my family and my husband ate two squares as soon as i cut it and complained some one had been eating his amazing slice .
    I also took someone’s advice used half wholemeal flour and extra oats and it still tasted fantastic.
