ANZAC Day Biscuits

ANZAC Day - our commemorative day 'Lest we forget'

ANZAC Biscuits - made with Coconut, Oats and Golden Syrup
ANZAC Biscuits are an easy recipe to make. They are a golden crunchy biscuit (cookie) made with Coconut, Oats and Golden Syrup (and a sprinkle of love) ANZAC biscuits are delicious and will keep for a long time, if you can resist them that is.

The initials ANZAC stand for Australian and New Zealand Army Corp. Anzac Biscuits were originally baked by women in Australia to send to their husbands and sons serving overseas during WW1. The parcels containing the lovingly baked biscuits took over 2 months to arrive at their destinations and they still tasted just as good!

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

~ exerpt from the poem "For the fallen" by Laurence Binyon (1869–1943)
