  • Navy chef shares original Anzac biscuit recipe

    Navy chef shares original Anzac biscuit recipe
    Apr 25 2026
    Anzac biscuits have been a traditional way to commemorate Australian service members since World War One, originally sent in care packages due to their long shelf life from high sugar content. Former Navy sailor and chef Jamie Gannon demonstrates the original Navy recipe, featuring rolled oats, sugar, flour, golden syrup, butter and bicarbonate of soda, while sharing his personal military history including his grandfather's service. The simple recipe takes 10-15 minutes to bake and remains a popular family tradition on Anzac Day, with Gannon also presenting a modern twist using the biscuits as ice cream sandwiches with butterscotch sauce.
