Anzac Biscuits Filled With Cranberry Sauce

Posted 2015-01-03 by finy ⇒ follow

Many of those Australians who cook biscuits or slices will be familiar with Anzac biscuits -they are easy to make, always turn out, and taste great.

They were invented in either Australia or New Zealand, and it is said that these biscuits were sent to our Australian soldiers during World War 1, as they keep well, and do not go "off" easily.

I bought an expensive [link http://reviewclue.com.au/cranberry-sauce-by-mondo/ Cranberry Sauce] for Christmas, and only ate about a quarter of the tub, so had to think what I could do with the leftovers.

There were several ideas I had, however I settled on putting the cranberry sauce in the middle of the oat biscuits, and they turned out delicious.

They are an excellent snack to keep in the fridge for those times when visitors drop in, or for a snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
