I will make these for Rememberance Day 2009. We have a US/UK/CAN/AUS/NZ/Dutch multi-nation ceremony at a mass grave of 100 Allied POWs who were executed by the Japanese in a cave implosion- and are buried here at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetary in St. Louis, MO. Our Scottish community is very involved, and I represent the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers Past & Present webgroup ( I own an Ex-British armoured vehicle). LEST WE FORGET

I have been baking these for about 20 years, yes the mix is crumbly so be sure to tightly fist a ball of mix (about the size of a golf ball) and then well flatten with the heal of your hand. Allow for spreading room as they do grow in the oven. These need to be cooled before removing from the baking tray as they are soft and will break. These are very crunchy and my kids love the texture and the loud crunch they deliver. An Aussie classic that has been eaten by members of my family for 5 generations as my great grandfather was in the light horse brigade in WW1 and now my kids eat them too.
