Anzac biscuits

ANZAC was the name given to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers who landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey early on the morning of 25 April 1915 during the First World War.

Anzac biscuits were sent out from mothers and wives of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers that were stationed overseas, during World War I. These biscuits were sent over due to the fact that they would not spoil on the long trip, were cheap and easy to make, and because there are no eggs and milk they are non perishable so easy to keep fresh for a long time.

These traditional Soldier or Anzac biscuits are still highly popular and available always in supermarkets of Australia and New Zealand. Enjoy x
