The original plan for Easter was quite hectic, involved driving all over the countryside visiting our nearest and dearest, several DIY projects, a couple of good long walks and perhaps even a trip to the gallery...

It wasn't so bad actually (for us two anyway, although I'm sure Thom had a different experience).

| a batch of Anzacs to get us going |
Love the picture of the butterfly chairs in the garden...and those cookies, not sure if that's what Anzacs are exactly, but they look delicious!
ReplyDeleteAnnie, ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) biscuits were originally sent to soldiers during WW1 due to their long shelf life. Now they're homemade or sold around our national day of remembrance. The basic ingredients are always the same, however everyone seems to have a preference for how they are baked, either a chewy or crunchy. I definitely prefer mine chewy. Here's a classic recipe. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/21104/anzac+biscuits
