Anzac Biscuits or soldiers’ Biscuits can be traced way back to  World War I. During World War I, the wives, mothers and females of the Australian soldiers were concerned for the nutritional value of the food being supplied to their men. But, the big problem was any food they sent to the fighting men had to be carried in the ships of the Merchant Navy. Most of these were sailing with a speed of ten knots (18.5 kilometers per hour) . Most had no refrigerated facilities, so any food sent had to be able to remain edible after periods in excess of two months.
A group of women came up with the answer - a biscuit with all the nutritional value possible. The Scottish recipe was a great help, which used oats. These oats were used extensively in Scotland, especially for a heavy porridge that helped counteract the extremely cold climate.
The ingredients they used were: rolled oats, sugar, plain flour, coconut, butter, golden syrup or treacle, bi-carbonate of soda and boiling water. All these items did not readily spoil. At first the biscuits were called Soldiers’ Biscuits, but after the landing on Gallipoli, they were renamed ANZAC Biscuits.
ANZAC biscuits are still made today. They can also be purchased from supermarkets and around ANZAC Day, these biscuits are also often used by veterans’ organisations to raise funds for the care and welfare of aged war veterans.
