ANZAC BiscuitsIconic Aussie BiscuitANZAC Biscuits are an iconic Aussie biscuit, loved by most and simple to make. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corp. The biscuits were first made for soldiers in the First World War and were originally called Soldier's biscuits, but were later renamed. The original biscuits were (because of the time and distance they had to travel) very hard. 
My grandfather who served with the Australian Army in France in the Great War (as he called it) used to tell me all about how hard the biscuits were! Not so today. Today they are just as easy to make and are a delicious, tasty, long shelf life biscuit. Ingredients 125 grams butter chopped Preparation Preheat oven to 150 degrees. Place butter and golden syrup in a pan, stir over medium heat until melted. Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Combine bicarbonate soda and boiling water and add to dry ingredients. Add golden syrup and butter and mix well. Drop rounded teaspoons of mixture onto a greased tray and flatten slightly. Cook for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy warm straight from the oven or cold with a nice cup of tea or coffee. Store in an airtight container and they will last quite a while, if they are not consumed before hand! These biscuits are great for school lunches and are great sellers at school fetes or fund raising events.
