Grandma’s Anzac Biscuits

Updated: Jul 3

This is another recipe from my Grandma’s recipe book. I have seen other recipes for Anzac biscuits and they have had coconut in them but this recipe is oats and cornflakes!



They are very easy to make and are pretty tasty too. I wasn’t sure what to expect from these cookies or even how they would look but these will definitely be a regular bake in our house.

I love trying my Grandma’s recipes out but as she was an experienced baker the methods are very basic so I have to use my skill and intuition to work out what I need to do but these worked out first time and I am very pleased with the outcome.




To start pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade (160 fan) Gas Mark 4 then line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment.



Put the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and cream together until light and fluffy.




Once the butter and sugar are light and fluffy add the syrup and mix again.



Then add the cornflakes, oats and plain flour.



Mix the bicarbonate of soda with 2 tablespoons of hot water then add to the mix.




Roll the mixture into 15 balls and place on the baking trays and flatten slightly. You may need to do a few batches.



Bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes.



Leave to cool and set on the trays then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
