Today is an important day in our history, the 25th April, Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) Day. The day we say thank you to the diggers that give us the world we have now…
Anzac biscuits have been associated with the ANZAC tradition established in World War I. These delicious biscuits have been named this from being sent by wives to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation. Today, Anzac Biscuits can be purchased at supermarkets, but are much better baked on your own with the below recipe for a healthy option. So tasty fresh out of the oven!
Thank you to the diggers across every generation and happy eating of these yummy, healthy ANZAC biscuits.
