Chewy ANZAC Biscuits 25th April is an ANZAC day
... a day to remember...

and ANZAC biscuits were introduced during those difficult time.

According to Wikipedia..
"Anzac was first used in a recipe, published in an advertisement in the 7th edition of St Andrew's Cookery Book (Dunedin, 1915). It meant to be a cake, not a biscuit, and there were no mixing instructions. A recipe for "Anzac Biscuits" appeared in the War Chest Cookery Book (Sydney, 1917) known as Rolled Oats Biscuits. The combination of the name Anzac and the recipe now associated with it first appeared in the 9th edition of St Andrew's Cookery Book (Dunedin, 1921) under the name "Anzac Crispies". Subsequent editions renamed this - Anzac Biscuits" ANZAC biscuits are eggless oatmeal cookies, again falling back on history, eggs were scarce due to farmers participated in the war.

Furthermore, making it eggless would have made ANZAC biscuits last longer when shipped long distance...

I once bought ANZAC biscuits from the supermarket, some 8 or 9 years ago. I was curious but never again I would put the store-bought ANZAC biscuits in my mouth again. I found it too overly sweet.

This year, I decided to bake my own. I made it with less sugar and I pan roasted desiccated coconut for that extra nutty flavour.

Will I be making them again next year?
Definitely ....

Wishing everyone in Oz~ Have a relax wonderful long weekend
