25th April is Anzac Day, when people in Australia and New Zealand commemorate the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who fought at Gallipoli - as well as more generally acting as a remembrance day for members of the armed forces.
I myself celebrate something else on 25th April - the Anzac biscuit.
The recipe below comes courtesy of Esther's Granny.
***
Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees.
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 3/4 cups coconut
1 3/4 cups oats
2 cups sugar
225g butter
2tbsp honey or golden syrup
1tsp baking soda
4tbsp water
Mix together the dry ingredients. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and honey or syrup and add the baking soda and water.
Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry. Put in a baking tin and bake for about 12 minutes until golden brown.
The biscuits should be chewy rather than crisp ... and very extremely delicious.

Edited to say: following a batch of charred biscuits, I lowered the heat and shortened the cooking time & amended the original post accordingly. Sorry!
