Baking-my first try-Anzac Biscuits...

Having being inspired by many of my friends and reading lot of blogs about baking, I wanted to try to bake something myself at my home. I was a little sceptic to use my owner's oven at our condo in Singapore. I got to see the receipe of "Oaty Anzac Day biscuits" in Donna Hay book. These biscuits are quite simple and felt its good to try for a beginner like me to start baking.. As the name indicates, its made of oats, which is good at fiber. So, I finally managed to convince myself that I am baking something healthy(though it has got lots of sugar/cocunut/butter!! ;))

Some history behind this receipe. Australian & New Zealand Army Corps(ANZAC), which were among the first soldiers ashore in the battle at Gallipoli in 1915 during World War I. Scottish oatmeal biscuits were cooked at home during WW-I and sent to the soldiers fighting overseas. After the war, these oat-based biscuits were named Anzac Biscuits when they were made and sold as fund-raisers for returned soldiers.

My office friends and husband appreciated the outcome of the biscuits! I am happy I finally got started in baking!
