Well, when I bake [if ever], the ingredients usually come in a box and all I have to do is to mix water, milk and eggs and pop it in the oven to bake. I admit that the simplicity of buying $1.99 packaged cookies puts me off baking altogether. But it was about time that I took on the challenge to bake from scratch.
And now I know why Anzac cookies taste so good. Look at the ingredients! Flaked coconut, golden syrup, oats, butter, flour, baking soda [which i forgot] and LOTS of sugar. I thought that the thin papery-plastic design/advertisement on my new Flora margarine was quite a consolation because it said that I was doing my heart good.
But when I peeled off the pretty words, it didn't seem that prettay anymore...
Before I get off-track and banter on about ads on products...*ah hem*
It took me about half an hour to prepare the ingredients because I was being overly pedantic with the measurements but I had to get it right.
Mix...
...in.
And 20 minutes later, I baked my first batch of Anzac cookies!
And the verdict? While it tasted like the Anzac cookies that I know, it was erm... not as yummy. I tried dunking the cookies in a glass of milk but it was like oil and water.Thanks Michael, now I know for a fact that my usual way of baking is the definite way to go!
