While many recipes are sure to help you bake the Aussie and New Zealand classic, Mudgee Country Women's Association Evening's Barbara Gow, in NSW's Central West, has shared her mother's recipe.
"I have made lots of Anzac biscuits over the years as they are delicious and keep well, if you have not eaten them all. They also freeze well, good for lunch boxes," Barbara said.
