Lemon Myrtle Anzac Biscuits Recipe

April 25, 2016 By Julie Weatherhead Leave a Comment

Lemon myrtle Anzac Biscuits

For Anzac day every year, I make these delicious Lemon Myrtle Anzac Biscuits that add a native Australian twist to this traditional treat.

Anzac biscuits were originally sent to soldiers in World War I because they kept long enough to survive the long journey. It has been claimed that the original Anzac biscuits from Queensland actually had Lemon Myrtle in them! Now truly a part of Australian culture, it’s hard to imagine an Anzac Day without them.

Enjoy these delicious Anzac biscuits this Anzac day (or any day, for that matter)!
