ANZAC BISCUITS<\/span> <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cLike any famous recipe there are many variations but this is our family favourite from a well used, tattered old cookbook with yellowing pages and splotches of heavens knows what splattered on some of the pages. I’ve never actually taken much notice of the book itself, but it turns out to be an old, pre Pamela Clark, hard back Women’s Weekly Biscuit cook book that cost all of $2.50! Remember those days?<\/h3>\n

During World War 1 these nutritious, long lasting biscuits, made with ingredients that wouldn\u2019t spoil easily during the long sea voyage, were sent to our Australian soldiers overseas. Supposedly, the name was changed from Soldiers\u2019 Biscuits to ANZAC Biscuits after the landing at Gallipoli. They were packed in used tins, such as Billy Tea tins, which kept them airtight.\u201d<\/h3>\n
