How to Make Anzac Biscuits..Or if you already know how...this recipe is THE Best!!

Anzac biscuits are an Australian tradition thought to date back to World War 1 where Aussie wives and girlfriends, concerned for their men,wanted to send food over to them but without refrigeration, food had to be capable of lasting the time it took to reach them. Originally called "Soldier's biscuits", they were later renamed "Anzac Biscuits".To learn more about the history of Anzac Biscuits:- http://www.anzacday.org.au/miscellaneous/bikkies.html 


Although I never knew the history of Anzac Biscuits as a child, they were a staple in my Mum's biscuit-making repertoire.
