3 Pour the warm butter mixture over oat mixture. Stir well until combined. Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls. Place, about 5cm apart, on two oven trays lined with baking paper. Lightly press with palm of your hand to flatten.

New Idea Food Director Barb Northwood says: The debate still goes on whether crunchy or chewy biscuits are the best! If you prefer slightly chewy Anzacs, simply reduce the cooking time to 10 minutes.Notes
Tip: Store biscuits in an airtight container for up to five days.
