Anzacs
Source & History
This recipe was developed in Australia during WWI - these could survive being packed into tins and being shipped overseas to soldiers who were a very long way from home. They even arrived relatively fresh. They are also a family favourite today. Everyone has had Rhoda's Anzac biscuits. Rhoda says that she never ever just makes a single batch, she doubles or even triples this recipe. Remember the tins of Anzacs that she used to send home with her visitors?
Notes:
- Golden syrup is approximately the equivalent of corn syrup if you are in North America.
- These burn relatively easily, so be careful.
