Anzac Slice

Tisme's Note:

I found this in a magazine and the family loves Anzac biscuits and they loved this recipe as well! You must use real rolled oats not the instant ones or this recipe will come out to dry.

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 12

• 250 g granita biscuits, crushed
• 200 g butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups golden syrup
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
• 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
• 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 4 eggs
• 4 egg yolks

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 160ºC. Line a 32 x 23cm cake tin with baking paper. Put crushed biscuits in a bowl and add half the melted butter to biscuit and mix to combine.
2. Press biscuit mixture with your hand or the back of a spoon into the prepared tin.
3. Put the remaining butter, golden syrup, sugar and vanilla in a large heavy based pan. Bring slowly to the boil. Remove pan from heat and stir in bicarb, sour cream, flour, rolled oats, eggs and egg yolks and stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
4. Put oat mixture on biscuit and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean.
5. Stand on a wire rack to cool and when slice is cold, cut into squares to serve.
6. N.B. Can be served with sifted icing sugar and cream if desired.

I am mad about oats in anything and cannot believe I have not made this recipe before !! I loved it and it is quite addictive too !! It was easy to make and I used half honey , half golden syrup as I was scraping the bottom of the syrup tin. Bring on Anzac Day so I can do it again !!

This received mixed reviews from my family. Hubby didn't care for it, but my eldest son quite liked it. I liked it better warm, with icecream as more of a dessert. Personally I was left wanting something sweeter, which is why I enjoyed it with the icecream I think. I think it will freeze well, so I will cut the rest of it up, and freeze it, will be nice in my son's lunch box :) [Made for Aus/NZ Recipe Swap] ----------------------------------------------- Just an update on this: Hubby took a plate of it to work, and it was a big hit, his boss loved it!
