ANZAC Biscuits

Today is ANZAC day here in Australia and New Zealand; a day set aside to commemorate the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp who lost their lives in war and to honour returned service men and women. In honour of this special day I have decided to share my Grandma’s traditional ANZAC biscuit recipe.

Originally named Soldier’s Biscuits, , have a long history. First baked by those at home to send to soldiers during World War 1, they are now an Australian favourite. The biscuits had to survive for up to two months and were created with ingredients that would not readily spoil on the long journey but also deliver substantial nutritional value to the soldiers.

The recipe has not changed since they were first made all those years ago and just as well; are sweet, oaty, melt in the mouth delicious. If you can’t find Golden Syrup, try treacle or even maple syrup instead. As a child these where one of my most favourite treats and I still enjoy them today. Big thank you to my lovely Grandma for sharing her ANZAC biscuit recipe; Lest We Forget.
