Home Economics - Anzac Biscuits

Anzac Biscuits

Today in Home Economics we got split into multiple groups, each group got given different recipes to bake. My group consisted of Emily, Dominique, Brayden, and I. Our group made an iconic Anzac Biscuit.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup standard plain flour

1/3 cup sugar

2/3 cup coconut 

3/4 rolled oats

1 tbsp golden syrup

50g butter

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

2 tbsp boiling water

Method:

Mix together the flour, sugar, coconut, and rolled oats. Cut the butter into cubes and melt the butter and golden syrup together in a small bowl. Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water and add it to the butter and golden syrup. Fold the butter mixture into the dry mixture until combined. Roll the mix into medium-sized balls and then fit them into a lined tray. Place them into the oven for about 12-15 minutes or until golden. 

Sensory Evaluation:

They had a nice crunch on the outside while the inside was soft and chewy. The outside had this sugary coating while the inside had this chewy mix between a sweet coconut.

My Personal Opinion on how the group worked:

I personally think our group worked well together but, I do think one of us could have contributed more and communicated with us other than arguing with us and thinking they could do anything they wanted to do. We had assigned jobs for everyone and they still thought he could go on his own path.

Would I modify anything?

I personally wouldn't modify or change anything about the recipe, I thought the recipe was very easy to make and most people would have everything at home.

From my Stakeholder - My Sister:

She said that she enjoyed the flavour, you could taste the golden syrup and sugar, it wasn't too sweet and it had enough golden syrup. She liked the soft and chewy inside and the crunch added. She said the coconut was a nice thing to add.
