If you’re keen to enjoy some ANZAC bikkies tomorrow, you’ve still got plenty of time to make a batch or 2 – and may we highly recommend Squiz founder Claire’s mother’s recipe. It’s a classic with golden syrup, coconut and oats, and it comes with instructions for crisp and chewy versions… But government research into ANZAC Day traditions has found that today’s version wasn’t always the case… Originally, they were known as a “wafer or tile” and were a “hardtack biscuit or long shelf-life biscuit substitute for bread” which were “not necessarily popular with soldiers at Gallipoli”. Yum… So when you’re enjoying a more palatable iteration with a cuppa, maybe thank the ANZACs for helping to secure our freedom – and to eat good food. And if you’re really keen on an authentic experience, you can also find some of those old-school recipes here…
