1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Mix 100 g rolled oats, 100 g flour, 80 g sugar and 50 g desiccated coconut. Melt 125 g butter with 2 tbsp golden syrup.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Anzac Slice is the tray-bake version of Anzac Biscuits — the same oaty, coconutty, caramel dough baked as a slice and cut into bars. Crispy or chewy, easy to share. An Australian-New Zealand classic (ANZAC Day).

2. 2

   Dissolve 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda in 2 tbsp water and stir into the melted butter and syrup mixture. Combine with the dry ingredients.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Golden syrup provides the caramel flavour and acts as a binder (replacing eggs). Bicarbonate of soda adds lift. Rolled oats and coconut give the characteristic texture. Baked as a slice (in a tin, then cut) rather than individual biscuits — more practical.

3. 3

   Press the mixture into a lined tin. Bake at 160 °C for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Cut into bars while still warm, then leave to cool completely (they firm up as they cool).

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Anzac Slice is served in bars with coffee or tea — oaty, coconutty, caramel-flavoured fingers. Crispy or chewy. An Australian-New Zealand classic (ANZAC Day, 25 April), conveniently baked as a slice.
