ANZAC biscuit

ANZAC Biscuits are a snack food most commonly made from the primary ingredients of rolled oats, coconut, and golden syrup.Many myths surround the origin of the ANZAC Biscuits. It has been reported that these biscuits were made by Australian and New Zealand women for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) soldiers during World War I and were reputedly first called "Soldiers' Biscuits" then renamed "ANZAC Biscuits" after the Gallipoli landing. The recipe was reportedly created to ensure the biscuits would keep well during naval transportation to loved ones who were fighting overseas. However, those biscuits were shaped more like rock cakes and were made from entirely different ingredients.
