Looking for a recipe from an old cookery book...

Options
Years ago, I used to have a big cookery book called (I think) the Hamlyn All-Colour Cookbook. Goodness knows what happened to it, but there was a really nice recipe in it for Australian biscuits. I just wondered if any of you nice people might have the book and could reunite me with the recipe?

    Maybe I can be of some help. :D

    It probably was Anzac Biscuits. Can you remember any ingredients they had?
    Anzac biscuits are really really yummy, and healthy if you forget about the butter, sugar & syrup. ;)
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Thanks Frosty - well, I got the right side of the world, anyway, I never was very good at Geography. I'm sure that'll be the right recipe! I shall be eternally grateful if you would post it!
