In the lead up to ANZAC Day on 25 April, we thought we’d share our favourite ANZAC Biscuit recipe.
According to Australian War Memorial, “The biscuit that most of us know as the ANZAC biscuit is a sweet biscuit made from rolled oats and golden syrup. These must not be confused with that staple of soldiers’ and sailors’ rations for centuries, the hardtack biscuit.
From the 1920s onwards Australian recipe books nearly always included ANZAC biscuits but exactly how this recipe became identified with ANZAC, or the First World War, is unknown. They don’t have the shelf-life of hardtack biscuits but they do last a reasonable amount of time, so it is possible that they became known as a suitable inclusion in parcels of small luxuries and comforts that families and charitable organisations used to send overseas to soldiers.”
We reckon the only reason ANZAC biscuits don’t have the shelf-life of hardtack biscuits is because they are too delicious to store!
