Do pop over to Jenny's blog and take a look at the ANZAC quilt she has featured there today.
The NZ Government guide to ANZAC Day has lots of information about the traditions and background to ANZAC Day so you might like to go over there too.
Here's a basic recipe for Anzac Biscuits from the site. It gives a chewy, moderately sweet version. Various things may be added to the mixture for variety: dried fruit, nuts, or spices such as ginger.

Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in 2 tablespoons of boiling water.
Mix in: 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of coconut, ½ cup of sugar.
Drop tablespoons of the mixture onto baking paper,

Hi Lis
ReplyDeleteYou've had such a lovely time in NZ since you left New Plymouth.Can't wait to see you quilt from the mini symposium. The NZ quilting world is a very small place. Yvonne, who looked after you in Picton took a class here in New Plymouth which I attended about 18 months ago! Ian and I are hoping to see you and Al when we come over, only 1 more sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take care and safe journey home. Debbie & Ian
