It’s amazing that a simple Anzac biscuit recipe has the ability to ignite so much debate, but when it comes to the legendary Australian biscuit, tampering with the ingredients list is a firm no-no. While it is generally agreed that eggs should not be included in the traditional Anzac biscuit recipe, some minor variations, such as the addition of desiccated coconut, seem to fly under the radar.Â
If you enjoy the flavour and texture a little bit of coconut adds to chewy Anzac biscuits, this easy recipe is for you. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to try an even more outlandish spin on the classic bickie, try making a caramel tart with an Anzac biscuit base.
