GINGER ANZAC BISCUITS
We have added a twist to the traditional ANZAC Biscuit recipe to give it some zest with our famous Buderim Naked Ginger in the marriage of an iconic biscuit with an iconic natural Australian product. The birth of Buderim Ginger (proudly over 75 years young and still Australian) was actually created directly by circumstances surrounding the World Wars, so we felt it fitting to remember and pay respect to our ANZAC’s with this special recipe. Lest We Forget.
