Anzac Biscuits

[Pat Churchill]

A friend in Belgium wants to make Anzac biscuits but is finding rolled oats sourced from the Brit supermarket there are rather expensive. Can anyone suggest a possible alternative? I am not familar with what other rolled cereals might be available in Europe. I think a half wholemeal/half rolled cereal would probably work, given that the rolled oats mainly contribute texture and visual interest.

Pat, I'd be very surprised if rolled oats weren't readily available in Belgium - perhaps there's a linguistic misunderstanding interfering? flocons d'avoine (FR) or haverflokken (NL) should be fairly easy to get. A simple Google (Belgium) search yielded numerous hits for recipes, and some commercial sites, so clearly they are available. Health food stores and places which sell a range of mueslis are also likely to sell coarse rolled oats.

Quick cooking oats work just as well in anzac biscuits. I can't imagine why they would be expensive.
