About ANZAC biscuit
Anzac biscuits are sweet oat biscuits associated with Australia and New Zealand. This profile follows the early recipe printed in The Capricornian in 1926 and reproduced by the Australian War Memorial.
Golden syrup and sugar supply sweetness, while butter adds richness. Rolled oats give the biscuits their characteristic grain flavour; this documented early version does not include coconut.
The mixture spreads into individual biscuits during baking. This sweet-biscuit recipe is distinct from the hard army wafers also described on the source page; its serving temperature is not specified.
