Anzacs are a classic New Zealand biscuit. Since they can be stored for long periods of time the energy dense biscuits were baked by the mothers, daughters and wives of our soldiers and sent to the front line. Giving the soldiers much needed energy and a little reminder of home. They remain one of our favourite biscuits. This recipe includes date syrup; a natural sweetener that lends a deep golden flavour to this biscuits.
