Matt's Cooking Corner — Grandpa's Anzac Slice

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups plain flour
• 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup Panela sugar
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 150g butter, chopped
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 2 tablespoons boiling water

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line a slice pan.
2. Combine flour, oats, sugar, and coconut.
3. Melt butter and syrup over low heat. Combine bicarb and boiling water, then stir into the butter mixture.
4. Add to the dry flour mixture and stir.

Note: Panela is raw sugar that retains the molasses, giving it a rich flavour.
