We have started our Co-op series of “FOOD AROUND THE WORLD“.  The girls and I thought we would start off by showing everyone how to make a yummy treat, Anzac biscuits.  We have never tasted these before today but the girls say they are really good. They also worked on their facts for tomorrow, which all the girls are going to do a travel video about Australia.  We are also going to do a craft from Australia and watch a couple of documentaries.  The girls are very excited!!

Anzac Biscuits

An Anzac Biscuits is a sweet biscuit popular in Australia and New Zealand.  They were made by soldiers wives to send to the men fighting abroad during WWI.  The ingredients did not spoil easily and could withstand the long transport to the soldiers.  They were referred to as “Anzac wafers” or “Anzac tiles” because of they are very hard and tacky and had a long shelf life and were sometimes used as a bread substitute.
