Anzac Biscuits
ANZAC stands for Australia New Zealand Army Corps. These biscuits were created during World War 1 and the were sent to the troops called ANZACS. They are one of the most popular Australian biscuits.
Baked Wedges With Fresh Rosemary and Sea Salt
Tasty, delicious golden wedges, that are so easy to prepare and great served with grilled meats, chicken, ribs, or on their own as a snack, or light lunch.
Sour Cream and Chive Damper (Australian Bread)
Damper is a quick bread that is fabulous with a barbecue! Damper was traditionally made in a cast-iron pot with a lid, called a “camp oven”. The entire pot was either covered in hot wood coals or the camp oven was placed in a hole in the ground and surrounded with hot wood coals. It was usually served with tea made in a billy over the camp fire. Damper was originally made with plain flour, salt and water. Adding butter and self-raising flour came later on and gives a much tastier result. I got this recipe from Taste, an Australian website. Enjoy!
Choux Pastry- for Profiteroles, Cream Puffs or Eclairs
An easy pastry to make. Can be used for profiteroles, cream puffs or eclairs. Pastry can be frozen after being cooled. When defrosted return to the oven to crisp if required. Unfilled pastries can be frozen for up to two months. For eclairs top with chocolate and fill with cream. For profiteroles top with chocolate and fill with custard or vanilla cream. For cream puffs sprinkle with icing sugar and fill with cream. A quick creamy filling is to blend a box of powdered dessert vanilla custard pudding mix with a carton of thickened cream (just use a balloon whisk). It’s been a long time since I have used this recipe-so my servings is a guess
Rich Christmas Fruitcake
I have been making this particular fruit cake recipe for about 28 years now. It’s a traditional cake for weddings, birthdays and Christmas in Australia. Although I submitted the original recipe, I personally would soak the fruit for a day or two in port or brandy before I baked the cake, as I like a really moist and boozy fruit cake. I double or triple the recipe depending on the size tins I will be using, and often make about 12 of these in varying sizes as gifts for Christmas.
