The Traditional ANZAC Biscuit

With ANZAC Day only just around the corner I think everyone should be getting into the spirit by baking ANZAC biscuits!

Now here is a bit of history for you! These sweet and delicious cookies were once baked by wives and sent to their husbands fighting in WW1. These biscuits were ideal to send out on a long journey due to how well the ingredients preserve. These biscuits are now loved by millions and traditionally baked in memory of those soldiers in WW1.

Now lets get cooking!

What you will need:

• ¾ of a cup of sugar
• ¾ of a cup of coconut
