¼ Cup sugar 55 grams
70 g butter
3 tablespoon golden syrup 60 grams
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoon water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius.
Place the cornflakes in a bowl use the base of a smaller bowl or mug to smash up the cornflakes into small pieces (think rolled oat size).
Add the gluten free flour, coconut and sugar to the crushed cornflakes and mix together
Melt the butter and golden syrup together, this can be done in on the stove top or in the microwave.
Dissolve the baking soda in the boikling water then add this to the butter syrup mix, kids still love watching the butter and syrup foam
Add the butter mix to the dry ingredients and stir
Roll into small teaspoon-sized balls and place onto a baking paper-lined tray
Very gently squish the balls with a fork or spatula (a great kids job)
Bake at 180 degrees celsius for around 6-10 mins until golden but still soft in the middle
Lick the spoon and the bowl and enjoy the cookies!

Notes

The bake time for Anzac Biscuits is quite short. Watch the oven closely and/or set a timer so that you don't burn your biscuits.
When the biscuits first come out of the oven they will be soft, leave them to cool on their trays before trying to move them around. When they are warm they are quite fragile, but they harden as they cool down.
Store your Anzac Biscuits in an air tight container for up to 5 days. You can also freeze this biscuit recipe
These Anzac biscuits are perfect for ice cream sandwiches
This recipe makes a delicious crust for a cheese cake or as a crumble topping on a fruit crumble
Gluten-free corn flakes: This recipe also works with brown rice flakes and gluten free special K cereal. Although my son's favourite version is this one with cornflakes.
Butter: This can be substituted with coconut oil or a full fat margarine such as Nuttelex.
Golden syrup: This can be substituted for maple syrup or honey, but the flavour will change a bit if you use these substitutes.
