Anzac biscuits were an iconic part of growing up in Australia. Just the smell of the honey and oat flavored biscuits bring back so many fond memories of Sunday morning coffee shops and afternoon teas at home, still dressed in my school uniform. Having their deep roots buried in the battlegrounds of World War 1, these biscuits were sent to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) troops from back home because of their durability. While the ingredients were long lasting and practical in the 1910's, today with embellished recipes and no food rations, Anzac biscuits have made a comeback and have never tasted so good!
