Anzac Biscuits
Nowadays served during the Anzac Day (25th April) in Australia and New Zealand, Anzac biscuits are said to have been shipped to the ANZAC soldiers (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) by their wives or mothers during the war because the biscuits could last for weeks without spoiling. Moreover, they were fairly cheap to make, filling and nutritious, just what a soldier needed for an energy boost. True or not, it’s this piece of history that makes these biscuits so special. And beyond that, it’s their amazing taste, crumbly bite and chewy texture that made me bake them.
Truth to be told, this is my third try at Anzac biscuits – the first two were different recipes and a total fail. I would have given up on them if they didn’t have one of my favorite biscuits ingredients – oats. I don’t normally eat oats in cereals or otherwise, but I love them in biscuits and a boost of fibers in a diet is always welcomed, isn’t it?! Especially when it comes from such a delicious source as these biscuits!
Arata senzational, de-abia astept sa le incerc cu niste merisoare uscate!
Pinning 🙂
Vor fi delicioase cu merisoare!
Arata superb.
Multumesc!
Those look fabulous! I tried making anzac cookies once, they were great–but not quite as thick as these! Love your photos here too 🙂
Thanks, June. I tried various recipes before too, but I’d say these were perfect.
These look delicious and with the oats, almost healthy, Oana! Lovely photos as always 🙂 xx
Thank you, Louise. Indeed, almost healthy. 😀
Oh ANZACS are my favourite!!!! We made these nearly every year growing up in Australia!! Thanks for linking up with our Fabulous Foodie Fridays party xx
Thank you, Lucy. I love them too, I’ve made quite a few batches for friends and family since I found this recipe.
