Sharon Howson's Honey 'n' Oats (ANZAC Biscuit) Soap Recipe
Honey 'n' Oats (ANZAC Biscuit) Soap by Sharon Howson
Anzac biscuits received their name during the First World War. Up until that time people had been baking "Soldier's biscuits" for the troops, based on a recipe derived from the Scottish oat cake. The main feature was that no eggs were used otherwise the biscuits would spoil on the long journey to the front - see http://www.aussieslang.com/features/anzac-biscuits.asp.
These were renamed as Anzac biscuits after the campaign at Gallipoli.
ANZAC = Australian New Zealand Army Corp. These biscuits are yummy,
very easy to make and popular. Although they don't contain Ginger, the
oatmeal reminds me of these biscuits.

The 30gm of honey had previously been dissolved in 250gm water
(deducted from the 557gm above) a few days earlier as per Marina's
instructions for Honey Water, I added the Honey powder mainly because
I have lots and wanted to use it up. The Ginger EO was a tester 48gm
was all I had, it was the first time I had used it in soap. Sorry I
did not record how much ground oatmeal I added, but let's just say 1/3
cup. Honey water was mixed with Lye. Honey powder was dissolved in a
little extra water and added at trace with oatmeal and EO
