It’s the second last day of Inktober and the prompt is cookie. Australians of a certain age I would never use the term. They have biscuits.
My very favourite biscuit to have with coffee is an Anzac.
It’s a very flat oat based biscuit, that supposedly dates back to the First World War. It
was largely made to a special recipe that wouldn’t go stale and on the long
ship journey to the combined Australian and New Zealand Troops overseas. When I
was a kid the tradition lived on and every family had their own secret recipe. They
all used golden syrup. A sugar syrup much lighter than the equivalent molasses,
but with a similar taste.
