{"id":52,"slug":"anzac-biscuits-i","title":"Anzac Biscuits I","description":"ANZAC biscuits have long had an association with the Australia/New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) troops sent to Gallipoli during WWI. The biscuit appears to be a variant of the Scottish oat cake, said to be from the Scottish-influenced city of Dunedin. The recipe was created to ensure the biscuits would keep well during naval transportation to loved ones who were fighting abroad. The finished biscuits are quite chewy and crisp, and have a long shelf-life.","ingredients_raw":["2 cups plain (non-self raising) flour","1 cup white or brown sugar","2 cups rolled or instant oats","1 cup desiccated coconut flakes","4 tablespoons golden syrup, corn syrup, or honey","225 grams butter or margarine","1 teaspoon baking soda","2 tablespoons of water"],"ingredients_norm":["plain flour","white or brown sugar","rolled or instant oats","desiccated coconut flake","golden syrup corn syrup or honey","butter or margarine","baking soda","water"],"steps":["Mix the flour, sugar, oats, and coconut in a bowl.","Melt the syrup and butter in a saucepan.
