This is Australian favourite biscuits of the year. ANZAC day is a day this biscuits are very popular in Australia in Australian stores. They are crunchy , crispy and very delicious. If you don’t eat eggs then these biscuits are for you.

During the war world l these biscuits were made by the wives of of Australian and New Zealand Army  corps (ANZAC)These troops were training in Egypt in 1915 Those wives made their recipe without eggs because they wanted it to last longer and not to spoil easily. So during their husbands maritime navigations these biscuits kept well and could get spoiled fast.

During the Anzac day parade in Australia this biscuits are made in Australian homes.

I visited the battle field in waterloo in Belgium. I saw historic statue  of Belgian soldiers receiving these biscuits with oats in them. These niscuits are a soldiers biscuits.
