Why do my Anzac biscuits go flat?

Shopping tip: Make sure you buy whole rolled oats - if you use instant oats, the mixture will spread too much and your biscuits will be flat . Make them your way: Soft and chewy: Omit the brown sugar and increase the caster sugar to 155g (3/4 cup).

How to stop Anzac biscuits from spreading?

If your Anzacs spread, your butter was too warm. Chill them for at least 30 minutes before baking , and this should help.

Why do my biscuits go flat?

The Problem: Your Oven Is Too Hot If your cookies repeatedly turn out flat, no matter the recipe, chances are your oven is too hot. Here's what's happening. The butter melts super quickly in a too-hot oven before the other ingredients have firmed up into a cookie structure.

What makes Anzac biscuits crunchy or chewy?

To make your biscuits extra crispy try cooking them on a lower temperature for a few minutes longer or, add an extra teaspoon of boiling water to your biscuit mix . For a chewier texture, add a little more golden syrup (just pull back on the sugar to adjust the overall sweetness) and bake them slightly less in the oven.

Why aren t my Anzac biscuits spreading?

So, make sure you roll and bake the mixture as soon as possible after mixing to make rolling and flattening of the biscuits easy. If it does get a little dry you can just mix in another tablespoon or two of water to help make it a little more pliable before shaping. Leave enough room between biscuits for spreading .

Why don't my Anzac biscuits spread?

If it's hot, the mixture will de drying out more - you need to add more of the moist ingredients so the mixture is runnier - it will then spread more & be thinner & crunchier! I find that if I use more butter/syrup mixture then it will turn out flatter and chewy. This is the way I like my anzac too.

How do you keep biscuits from rising?

When you're ready to cut your biscuits, punch straight down with your biscuit cutter . Twisting the cutter "seals" the edges, which keeps your biscuits from rising high.

Why aren t my biscuits light and fluffy?

For light and fluffy biscuits, steer clear of any flour made from 100% hard red wheat ; this style is relatively low in starch and high in protein, readily forming gluten in a high-moisture dough. That's great when it comes to making chewy breads and pasta, but bad news for light and tender biscuits.

Love these, so easy I made them very small so made a whole lot. Added cocoa to some of the mixture as some people are hard to convince that healthy is tasty. Both tasted really good.
Took them to Bowls early morning to have with a cuppa.

Yum!! I could have sat here just eating out of the bowl. I cheated though and have put mine in bars as I'm too lazy to roll them lol. Do these freeze?

  Hi Annette, yes they freeze great and also it does make it a little hard not to eat it out of the bowl! Also bars that's a cool idea.
