The biscuits in that photograph are not proper Australian-style ANZAC biscuits. The recipe might be identical, but proper ANZAC biscuits are (a) a lot larger by radius, and (b) burnt. They aren't supposed to be golden brown all over; they should be part golden brown, part charcoal black. Anything else is a forgery.

We will not drill
We cannot fight
What bloody good are we?
