ANZAC Biscuit Recipe. Lest we Forget.
Published on April 22, 2016 by
As a nation we are the lucky country and we take pride in celebrating the strength and courage of our people. On ANZAC day we honour and pay tribute to the courage of those who fought and gave their lives for this wonderful country.
“ANZAC Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day on which we remember all Australians who served and died in war and on operational service. The spirit of ANZAC, with its qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity”

I am sure you have been involved in the age old debate of what are the best ANZAC biscuits…
CRUNCHY or SOFT
If you are a fan of the soft version bake for a few minutes less.
If you are a crunchy fan like myself then bake for another 5-6 min (be careful not to burn them).
Makes approx. 40-50 delicious biscuits.
