Anzac biscuits

The Anzac biscuit is a sweet biscuit that Australians eat on Anzac Day (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC)), a national day of remembrance that commemorates those who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. It is thought that these biscuits were sent by wives and women's groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation. They feature a delicious combination of oats, flour, coconut, margarine, and golden syrup (a thick, amber-coloured form of inverted sugar syrup). You can make those biscuits very easily and substitute the golden syrup for maple syrup, but golden syrup has such a particular flavour!
