You are probably asking yourself now...Anzac...what??? ;-)
Yes, ANZAC Day, the 25th of April, is one of Australia's most important national occasions. It is a day of national remembrance for soldiers who fought for Australia and as part of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp.
ANZAC biscuits are one of the major symbols of fundraising for the Australian Military and Veterans. The story goes that wives of soldiers fighting in WWI used to send these biscuits to their husbands to help raise spirits, as these biscuits do not spoil easily.
ANZAC biscuits have become a favourite treat for Aussie children. So why not baking them here? ;-) And why baking them now and not in April? Because we are flying to Australia this afternoon! Our flight attendants needed some traditional Aussie cookies to serve during the flight and the baking club of course helped with that!! :-)
Woop woop!!! I'll keep you posted about our afternoon trip!
