I thought the recipe had died with her. Must be old if we're using pre-metric measures!

Still looking for the crepe suzette recipe, although I'm told it was from a Robert Carrier recipe.

Actual coconut. Have you ever had them? So delicious and they keep forever (why the ANZAC soldiers carried them in the rucksacks). That recipe is really simple. The one I have has more ingredients (including golden syrup, baking soda and pepitas).

My cousin made them in HI years ago. I gave the recipe to friends and they make dozens of them at a time and give them away at Christmas time.

Mum says its shredded coconut. I don't bake, and I wasn't looking for this, but I think I'm going to have to try it out.



From memory these were more like an Anzac "slice" than a biscuit. I didn't even know they were Anzac biscuits until years later when I was remembering them and Mum said "oh you mean those Anzac biscuits?"

I have a really tasty recipe. I'd be happy to share it, if you'd like. Your grandmother's is rather short on the instructions.
