Anzac biscuit recipe: CWA ladies share the secret to baking the treat the traditional way

The Morning Show was visited by Annie Keifer and Cath Sloan from the Country Women’s Association of NSW, who shared their expertise when it comes to creating the traditional recipe that first appeared in the CWA’s Calendar Cookbook in 1933.
