Anzac biscuits are a popular treat all year round, or were in my family as I was growing up, but especially around Anzac Day.

During World War I, soldiers were sent packages of food from families and friends back home. Because it could be some time from when the food was baked until it was received, it had to keep for a long time and also be nutritious.

Anzac biscuits filled both these requirements. As a special treat, I share with you my Mum’s Anzac biscuit recipe.
