Try some – you will love them.

And some history about this traditional biscuit from the NZ Army Museum.

Might be good, will try to make some. Can those of "up-over" use honey instead of Golden Syrup?

They are one of my favourites….

Bob, you should be able to. I'm going to give these a go when I get a chance. They had some at Big Lots about five years ago and bought a package. While not homemade, they were very tasty and sound like a good addition to the cookie recipe file.

Something to add to my cookbook :)

I am not sure what the alternative to Golden Syrup would be. Molasses may be a bit dark. Some googling and I found this

If you really want to substitute, combine light corn syrup and molasses in a 2 to 1 ratio

Probably easier to check the British section of some local supermarkets with a good 'international' section. I understand that a UK brand called Lyle's is sold in a lot of places in the USA.

GOlden Syrup has a rich almost toasted flavour and you are probably best off to find the real thing.

An Australian who works at the same place as me made some of these at home last week. She brought them in for us all to try. Very nice!

Two trips to NZ taught me there is no better way to start a day but with a cup of strong coffee and an ANZAC biscuit or two. We made a batch yesterday and they turned out great. Golden syrup can be found in Safeway stores, at least our local store has it.

My long standing ANZAC day tradition is to cook up a batch of Anzac biscuits while watching the march on TV.

Greatest biscuits under the sun :)
Don't last long in this household :D
Cheers and up the ANZACSM
