Anzac Biscuits

After attending the ANZAC dawn service some of the boys in Robson decided to make ANZAC biscuits in memory for the people that fought for our country.  Max Suttor, Alex Robinson were both accompanied by the year 7 school house boys Luke Robinson and Sam Henry who helped to make the ANZAC biscuits.  The boys looked up a recipe on a well-reviewed website and decided to go ahead and make them.  It started off by measuring the dry ingredients and then heating up the butter, water and golden syrup to add to the mixing bowl.  Once the ingredients were all stirred in, Mrs Walker came down with her large baking tray as we rolled the dough into balls and placed them on the tray.  At the beginning we had trouble keeping the dough together and there were varying sizes.  However, Mrs Walker lent a hand and gave us some tips and from there we were rolling them with ease at a consistent size.  After rolling and rolling we ended up with 40 biscuits on the tray which then went in the oven for 8 minutes.  Once the time was up it was the big reveal.  They sure did not disappoint, as soon as we pulled them out, they were a glowing golden-brown colour.  We waited for them to cool and then after roll call in the evening we bought out the tray and shared them amongst all the boys and they were devoured in no time.  It definitely kept the boys quiet for a little bit and they were thoroughly enjoyed.  Overall, it was a pleasing experience for the boys who cooked them and they were loved by everyone that had one.
