An oat, golden syrup and coconut biscuit, crisp at the edges and chewy in the middle.
The Anzac biscuit was created during WW1 as a long-keeping, egg-free biscuit that wives and mothers could send to soldiers on the front. The recipe relies on oats, coconut, golden syrup and butter; no eggs to spoil over the long sea journey. The name 'Anzac' is protected by Australian law and can only be used on the original recipe. Modern Sydney bakeries from Iggy's to Bourke Street keep the version current.
