Anzac Biscuits

 Ingredients

• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup desiccated coconut
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 125g butter, chopped
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.  Sift flour into a large bowl then stir in oats, coconut and sugar.
2. Place butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan over heat  until melted. Remove from heat. Combine bicarbonate of soda and 2 tablespoons water then stir into golden syrup mixture (mixture might become frothy). Add immediately to flour mixture and stir  
3. Roll mixture, into balls (or use a spoon to get chunks of mixture), placing on baking tray. Flatten, allowing room for biscuits to spread. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, swapping trays after 10 minutes, or until biscuits are golden. Allow biscuits to cool completely on trays.

I made a double batch

Don’t they look delish?!

Enthusiastic Attitude

Stop fighting against what you have to do.

Turn it into what you want to do.
For any given task, you can be miserable and plodding or you can be enthusiastic and highly effective.

It all depends on your attitude.
Instead of dreading and avoiding something that you must get done, choose to look forward to it.

Then jump in, make it happen, and get it finished once and for all.
It’s really very easy to make a change in your attitude.

You can do it without lifting a finger.
With a positive, enthusiastic attitude toward whatever task you must complete, the work will go more quickly and smoothly.

And, you’ll feel a whole lot better while doing it.
Decide that you truly want to get it done, and soon you’ll be reaping the rewards of your effective effort.
