The iconic biscuit is now available at some of the city’s best bakeries.
According to culinary historian Allison Reynolds, the long-lasting Anzac biscuit was originally sent in care packages to our soldiers during World War I, which is why it’s named after the combined Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. From dipped in dark chocolate to rolled out so it’s super thin and crispy, around Anzac Day is when you will get the chance to try excellent traditional and not-so-traditional versions from some of these great Sydney bakeries.
It’s worth noting that many of these bakeries won’t be open on Anzac Day itself, so make sure you check opening hours before you go, order online or just get in early.
Newtown’s Flour Drum has taken the traditional chewy Anzac biscuit and half-dipped it in rich dark chocolate to create a delicious twist on the original.
You can get four in a sealed bag for $16. Also available will be Classic Anzac biscuits which sell for $4 each or grab a mini-six pack for $10.

The biscuits sell for $4.50 each or you can pick up a four-pack for $15. All profits from the sale of Black Star’s biscuits will go to the ANZAC appeal.
