ANZAC biscuits (our way)

Our version of the ANZAC Biscuit using sea rosemary, cinnamon myrtle and finger lime.

Many Indigenous soldiers fought without being recognised in our War. So we wanted to add a twist to the ANZAC biscuit using Indigenous ingredients and rosemary which is traditionally worn to remember. So what better way to do both than to use Sea Rosemary (Native to Australia). These biscuits also double up as cheese crackers, just roll them really thin and serve with your favourite cheese.
