ANZAC Day is almost here, which means it's time to start making our favourite quick and easy biscuit of the year. This recipe is very close to the traditional version we all know and love, but with slightly higher amounts of coconut, golden syrup and butter, the end result is more chewy than crumbly.

Our best Anzac biscuit recipe is undoubtedly an Aussie and NZ classic, and it's ridiculously easy to make - whether you’re marking Anzac Day or you just want to bake something quick with ingredients you already have in your pantry.
<h2>Where did Anzac biscuits come from?</h2>
It’s believed the original recipe evolved from a hard, almost indestructible ‘tile’ bikkie issued to Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers for sustenance during wartime to the delightfully golden sweet biscuit we know and love today. And while it’s true the ingredients of traditional Anzac biccies have changed little over the past century, what does vary significantly is people’s preference on crunchy versus chewy. It's a big call to make.
<h2>What's the perfect Anzac biscuit texture?</h2>
We asked our team here what texture the perfect Anzac biccie should be and we couldn’t reach an agreement. Some love their biscuits crispy, some chewy, and some in between. Luckily for the Anzac connoisseurs out there, this classic  recipe can easily be adapted to suit even the most particular of tastes. Whether chewy, crispy, crunchy or super soft - we have you covered.
Be sure to check out our detailed notes below our best Anzac biscuit recipe to help you make this biscuit recipe your own. Best of all, as far as the best Anzac biccies go, it really is such an easy recipe. Your biggest challenge will be allowing these absolutely delicious treats to cool (or at least cool slightly) on a wire rack before devouring them.

This was our morning tea today! Wow. The damper looked amazing, smelt so delicious and best of all, is tasted so good! This recipe is so simple, a great one for the kids to get involved in. Recipe by @ansadler

Ginger beer damper recipe

self raising flour

Ginger Beer

Heat your oven to 200 degrees. This is important, it needs to be nice and hot.

Place the flour, cream and ginger beer into a large mixing bowl and use a butter knife to combine. Don’t over mix the ingredients! Doing so will give you a tougher damper. Once it all comes together tip it out onto a floured surface and start kneading the damper, gently, only for about 30 seconds or so. You will see the damper come together and that’s the time you need to shape it into a mounded disk shape and give it a pat!

Place it on a tray lined with baking paper and using a sharp knife dipped in flour, mark the top of the damper. I like to mark it with 8 lines. Sprinkle some flour over the top and you are done.

Bake it in your 200 degree oven for about 30 minutes. You will see the top of the damper turn golden brown and when you tap the top it will sound hallow.
