Celebrate Anzac Day with these traditional Thermomix Anzac Biscuits - a simple recipe which is deliciously crunchy and ready in less than half an hour.
Anzac biscuits have been around since World War 1 when they were sent to soldiers overseas by their wives. The biscuits didn't contain eggs, so they withstood the long journey. Eggs were also scarce in those days as many poultry farmers joined the fight in the war.
Now they're sold all year round commercially, but it's always nice to bake a homemade batch for Anzac Day. This recipe is the classic version that has been adapted for the Thermomix.

3. Add the remaining ingredients.
4. Mix for 10 sec/reverse/speed 4. The mixture should have come together; if not, mix again for a few more seconds.
5. Roll the mixture out into walnut-sized balls and place onto the baking tray roughly 5cm apart. Flatten each one slightly with the palm of your hand.
6. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. The timing will vary on the oven, so keep an eye on them.

They will come out of the oven soft but will harden when cooled.

Hi Vicki,
I just tried your recipe for Anzac Biscuits.
These are gorgeous! Will definitely be doing them again.
I only managed 6 walnut sized balls, and they spread out during cooking to provide 6 large rectangles, which suits me because they're easy enough to break off and enjoy.
Thanks.
Helen
