Anzac Biscuits

Just the other day I found out what Anzac stood for. Australia, New Zealand, Army, Corps.
I love these biscuits and the regular ones I have made in the past have been too sweet and sugary and by no means as healthy and Paleo friendly and these babies!
The only problem I had was finding Macadamia oil in England. I could have ordered it online, but whats the point in making something that has an ingredient that is hard to come by? Plus I wanted to make them now and not in a few days when the oil arrived! So I swapped the Australian Macadamia for half coconut oil and butter.
They turned out to be delicious!

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup = 4floz oz

Makes around 10 biscuits

1/2 Cup of Ground Almonds
1/2 Cup of Desiccated Coconut
1/2 Cup of flaked Almonds (leave a few to garnish)
1/8 Cup of Honey
1/8 Cup of half butter and half Coconut oil
1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
1 Tblspn hot water

Method:

Mix the ground almonds, coconut and flaked almonds together in a mixing bowl.
Gently heat the butter, oil and honey together on the stove.
Mix the Bicarbonate of Soda with hot water then add to the honey mixture. Take off the heat and this will froth up quickly, then add straight away to the dry ingredient mixture.
Mix well, then roll in to balls and place on a baking tray.
Garnish the top of the biscuits with the left over flaked almonds.
Bake at 120 degrees for 20 minutes.

Warning! These biscuits are super delicious, so be careful not to eat too many!!!



Enjoy!
