Anzac Slice Tips and Tricks
- Use Good Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients can make a big difference. Opt for high-quality rolled oats, real butter, and pure golden syrup for the best flavour. 🧈
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can result in a tougher texture. 🥣
- Line Your Baking Tray: Lining your tray with baking paper ensures that your slice doesn’t stick and makes for easier cleanup. 🍰
- Watch the Fizz: Adding the bicarbonate soda to the hot butter mixture creates a fun fizzy reaction. Make sure your butter mixture is hot enough to activate the soda properly. 🔬
- Cooling is Key: Allow your slice to cool in the tray before cutting. This helps it set properly and makes cutting easier. ⏲️
