The historical Anzac biscuit

The Anzac biscuit has its genesis, and its name, in the historic events of WW1, when rations were sent by wives to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) stationed abroad.

The particular recipe used during wartime created a biscuit which did not spoil easily and kept fresh during naval transportation. Also referred to as an ‘Anzac tiles’ or ‘Anzac wafer’, it was a hard bread substitute. It has since evolved into today’s more palatable and much loved Anzac biscuit.
