Thanks @Summerhill38 - that would be VERY interesting! Put her full name into Trove (https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/) you may be very surprised what comes up!! I've found a HEAP of information, including all my own family's birth, death & marriage notices & all sorts of unexpected stuff - including the possible suicide of said great grandfather (above) in 1929! :(
So ... I grabbed the Golden Syrup from my buddy - and luckily had all the other ingredients on hand for Anzac Biscuits (I really couldn't be bothered queuing up for the one ingredient, so very lucky Wendy had some!) I will take 10 around to her as a Thank You!
And here are my Anzac Biscuits - the proof is in the pudding! I got 31 out of the mix ..... I seem to recall 'my old recipe' having them flatter bigger & more caramelized, particularly around the edges (that would sometimes burn!) I also recall the bicarb soda foaming up WAY more than today .... With @iserbrown thinking it a bit 'wet' I added a bit more coconut & Rolled Oats - so whilst 'pliable', wasn't 'wet'.
10 are eaten already! YUMMY! Hubby will have to use a LOT of discipline to not scoff the lot over a couple of days! LOL
