Anzac Biscuits


Some people call them Anzac Cookies...I know them as Anzac Biscuits.......

When researching my family history, I love to get a view of a great great great grandfathers' handwriting....or anyone else's for that matter....it is a huge thrill to get a glimpse into the past through handwriting....

"Where is she going with all this?"... I bet your'e wondering.......Well, as we are heading into a future with handwriting a thing of the past...I like to write out some of our popular recipes...I don't have the prettiest handwriting, but it's mine!....and I like to think that one day, someone will cherish the recipes I have written .......... just the way I  cherish my Nan's recipes....

So here is the recipe for Anzac Biscuits....keep an eye out for a photo of the biscuits after they are baked........I will be baking them in the next few days.


WARNING: THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE RECIPE.....

REGARDING THE BI-CARB SODA....
the quantity should read TEASPOONS....not TBLSPNS.

Sorry for any inconvenience...(When I get time I will rewrite the recipe and scan in a new photo.)

    Hi I have just made 4x the amount and I think there may be a mistake in the recipe. Where it states " 1 1/2 tblsps" should it read "teaspoons"? I have just tasted these and they are inedible. I think it is the bicarbonate.
    Could you please let me know if this is a mistake.
    Thanks.

    Dearest Swissgal, I am truly sorry for the error in the recipe. I do think it should be written as teaspoons. Your correct! Thanks for pointing this out for me...and I'm terribly sorry for the waste in ingredients.

    Hi Narelle, thanks for getting back to me! Just one of those things I guess. They looked really great too! Never mind; I've used your yoghurt pizza base recipe several times so that kinda makes up for it! I really enjoy checking your blog- lots of great stuff. I live in the UK and have family in Australia and it is interesting to learn other ideas and how people live down under!
