Lamingtons are little square cakes, dipped in chocolate icing and then desiccated coconut. They are an Australian speciality apparently but, according to a little book I have called Favourite Shakespeare Country Recipes Leamingtons (as in Leamington Spa) are 'flat sponge cake topped with chocolate icing and coconut cut into squares and is a Warwickshire recipe'. What do you say to that eh Aussie ?

Blimey!!! It's going to be buns at 20 paces when Aussie sees this :eek::eek::eek:

Angel - I have posted the recipe for Anzacs I use in the recipe thread somewhere but I just can't seem to find it atm. :rolleyes: I've never froze them so not sure about that. Thriftlady's is different, hasn't got the bi-carb. They are not true anzacs. Just wannabe's.

lol Aussie - nothing beats the PROPER Anzac biccies!!!!!!! hey from one side of the ditch to the other Happy ANZAC day to ya :beer:

Phar Lap was a race horse that became more famous for having a heart weighing something like 6kg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phar_Lap
