There’s nothing like a plate of home-baked crunchy biscuits with a cup of coffee or tea to raise the spirits. Am I right? And when they’re baking, the sweet scent fills the warm kitchen, how wonderful it is! Baking a plant of tasty biscuits is difficult for most people since there are many things to be watch out. Here I would like to share one of my favouriteCast iron DESSERT recipeswith you which is easy to bake and very healthy. It is one skillet olive Anzac Biscuit, an Australia style food, and this biscuit has became a staple of home baking in both Australia and New Zealand since 1917. The recipe I share with you here is really special since the size of this biscuit is like a pie. However, the flavor of this biscuit is no different than any other cute cookies.
This kind of biscuits used to be sent to soldiers abroad because theycould be kept long time and not spoil easily. In addition, these biscuits were a little taste of home and gave a feeling of comfort when out of the country. During World War 1, the wives, mothers and girlfriends of the Australian soldiers were concerned about the food being supplied to their men. Any food they sent to the fighting men had to be carried in the ships of the Merchant Navy, most of which were lucky to maintain a speed of ten knots so that any food sent had to be able to remain edible after periods in excess of two months. That is the reason why the Anzac biscuit was invented. Today, they can be found in anysupermarket. But I tend to make this biscuit in my own kitchen. Why not bake by your own at home, it is easy to make and the taste is really special. Your kitchen would be filled with the sweet fragrance of oats. The recipe is perfect for beginners of cooking, especially for those first-time bakers and the biscuitscan stay good for a long time, make a huge batch and keep them in a tin for neighbors or friends who drop in. Here is the one skillet olive oil Anzac biscuit recipe. Hope it can help you, believe me, it is worth havi`ng a try.
