It was a favorite with the armed forces in first world war that is why they are called Anzac Biscuits. Everyone has a different version, with added ingredients or omitting some ingredients."

  1. My 10yo just made these for Anzac Day tomorrow (if they last that long). Really nice, easy recipe with excellent results. We did need to reduce the cooking time to about 16 mins.
     
  2. Easy, basic and good. I used rolled oats for a nice consistancy and no golden syrup in France so I used honey.
     
  3. We absolutely loved these. We flattened them out a bit so they came out nice and crunchy, which is what we were after. Tasted just like the ones you buy in the supermarket. We only cooked them for 18 minutes and actually believe they should have probably come out after 17. Thanks so much - we will make these again and again.
     
  4. These turned out great for me, a hit at our ANZAC Day BBQ. Next time may increase the golden syrup by a touch & reduce the cooking time just a smidge. Thanks for posting!
     
  5. This is almost 100% but unfortunately it was a little too wet for my liking and the cooking time a little long. I found 16 minutes plenty long enough and I used 125g of butter which I think was too much. (I'm used to using that much?) Next time I'll use a bit less as the biscuits were a bit flat.
