The History
The History
The word Anzac stands for, Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. Anzac biscuits were invented during WW1 and were used as a non-perishable food item that could provide energy for soldiers in Gallipoli. They are eggless sweet biscuits made from oats and golden syrup. From the 1920s onwards, Australian recipe books always included Anzac biscuits, but they are no longer how they used to be during the First World War, as they no longer have the shelf-life. It is tradition in Australia to commemorate the Anzac soldiers by making Anzac biscuits every year on April 25. There are countless arguments about whether the Anzac biscuit is served crunchy or soft, so let's find out together!

BONUS TIP
If you want to make larger ANZAC Biscuits, add a double scoop to every roll mixture and then flatten it out. This will create twelve ANZAC Biscuits, but they will become larger.
If you want a crunchy ANZAC Biscuit, leave it in the oven for an extra five minutes, and it will become even more golden.
