Anzac Biscuits

May 3, 2014 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 9 Comments

Anzac Biscuit Recipe

Last week we celebrated Anzac Day and Sarah baked a big batch of Anzac Biscuits. Anzac biscuits were originally baked to send to our soldiers in World War One. They had to pack well and keep during the long voyage to the front line so were made without eggs and butter. They were packed in tins or billy tins to keep them airtight. Anzac biscuits are still a popular biscuit, made with rolled oats and golden syrup. We enjoy them throughout the year. Our version does include some butter.

Anzac Biscuit Recipe

We generally make them for Anzac Day and they always make me think of the mothers and wives back home, baking the biscuits to send in care packages to their loved ones in Europe.  When we lived in the US and I couldn’t find golden syrup, I made them with maple syrup. They were still good but not quite the same as the traditional recipe.

Our tin of Anzac biscuits are nearly gone. They are great to pack in lunch boxes and also freeze well.
