The Anzac biscuit is a rolled-oat, golden syrup and coconut biscuit baked to ship to Australian troops in WWI. Brisbane bakeries sell them year-round, peaking on Anzac Day.
The Anzac biscuit was developed in WWI when Australian women baked biscuits without eggs (rationed) and with golden syrup as a binder, durable enough to ship to ANZAC troops in Europe and Gallipoli. Rolled oats, desiccated coconut, flour, brown sugar, golden syrup, bicarbonate of soda and butter form the recipe; the dense chewy result keeps for weeks. The biscuit remains a Brisbane and Australian Anzac Day tradition every 25 April. Brisbane bakeries serve them daily as a coffee snack and CWA stalls sell them at every weekend market.
