"Lest We Forget… The Irresistible Taste of Pandan ANZAC Biscuits!" 🌿🇦🇺
This month, we celebrate two meaningful occasions: the joy of Easter and the solemn remembrance of Anzac Day. Whether you're sharing chocolate eggs with loved ones or pausing to honour the bravery of our servicemen and women, April is a time for reflection, gratitude, and togetherness. 🐣✨
Our official PANDAN ADDICT and Brand Ambassador, Mel has made you “ANZAC Biscuits with PANDAN” in commemorating Anzac Day. Here’s what Mel has to say:-
"Taking one step ahead by adding my favourite Pandan Powder from @my.blue.tea, here is my take on 1914 Anzac Biscuits. These biscuits are easy to make and the result is just unbelievably tasty! Special thank you to Events Geelong for this wonderful recipe."
PANDAN ANZAC BISCUIT
Recipe:
*190g Rolled Oats
*150g Plain Flour
*165g Sugar (Mel reduced to 130gr)
*125g Butter, cubed
*1 Large rounded tablespoon golden syrup
*1 Teaspoon bicarb soda
*2 Tablespoon hot water
What is so special about Anzac biscuits? - Legend has it that wives and families in Australia and New Zealand sent care packages to soldiers that included biscuits made from store cupboard staples such as rolled oats, golden syrup and flour. Eggs were scarce so were not included, making these treats perfect for surviving the long journey overseas.
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 160c. Grease two baking trays.
2. Mix the oats, flour, pandan and sugar together in a bowl. Melt the butter and golden syrup together, add bicarb soda dissolved in the hot water. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix well.
3. Roll into balls the size of a walnut (or a 10-cent piece) – in this case, I made a size of 50cent piece LOL – and place on the prepared trays. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden.
4. Move biscuit positions while hot. Allow to cool and crisp on tray.
5. Enjoy

THE MORE I BAKE, THE MORE I FALL IN LOVE WITH…
My name is Melya Suryanto and I fell in love with baking Sourdough during Covid in 2020. I spent hours and hours in the kitchen preparing the dough only for bread to fail when I baked it. So I went looking for a solution and I found it in my home town Semarang, Indonesia. I collaborated with a company specialising in cast iron manufacturing and got them to make 2 cast iron pans that have all the perfect attributes in shape, features and material to cook the perfect Sourdough loaf every time.
The pan has been wildly successful in the sourdough community throughout South East Asia and we are very happy to be able to finally launch it in Australia.
I am so proud of this product that I named it after my new home town Brisbane. I hope you enjoy using these pans to create the perfect sourdough loaf every time.
