Anzac Biscuits - dated 1951

This recipe was found in an old recipe book first published in 1951.
½ lb flour           1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
½lb sugar            2 tablespoons warm water
¼lb coconut         1 tablespoon golden syrup
¼lb 'quick'outs
¼lb melted fat
¼ teaspoon salt
   Mix together all the dry ingredients. Blend the golden syrup with the warm water and mix all together thoroughly. Place on a greased baking tin in small lumps. Bake until crisp. 350° f

For those of you in metric convert the ¼lb to 113 grams and the ½lb to 227 grams. 350°f converts to Gas Mk4 180° C.
With the Jubilee here this year we'll try and find some more recipes from the period and see if they are as tasty now as they were then.
Good Luck.
