Classic Anzac Biscuits

April 25 is Anzac Day, officially named in 1916 to commemorate an intense battle fought by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps on the Gallipoli peninsula during World War 1. These oaty, chewy and crunchy biscuits were sent to the soldiers, and became famous due to their long shelf life.

My family friend Paula makes these for me every year, and she was kind enough to share her recipe, which actually has roots in an old 1955 Edmonds “Sure to Rise” cookery book that was a staple of many households in New Zealand over the years.
