  • • Using brown sugar instead of white sugar gives more colour and flavour.
  • • You can replace coconut with more syrup and oats.
  • • Don't omit the baking soda and water. They give the biscuits crispness and colour.
  • • See https://www.awm.gov.au/articles/encyclopedia/anzac/biscuit/recipe for the official ANZAC recipe.
  • • Keep perishables at 40°F (4°C) or below in a monitored cooler. Discard food left above that temperature for over 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Use potable water, wash hands, and pack out scraps. Never cook inside a tent. Check local fire restrictions.
