Note from Tania

Anzac Biscuits have been around since World War 1. 

These Aussie favourites  were sent by wives and women’s groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily. I bet when those brave men and women who served so gallantly to keep our country free took a bite into the biscuit, it would have filled their hearts with a taste of home.

These little fellows are easy to make and are loved and enjoyed by my whole family.
