Sometimes nothing but a biscuit/cookie will do. These Keto butter biscuits with a delicious creamy orange filling are for days when you could just eat a whole batch of biscuits, but are desperately trying to be good… perfect for pairing with a cup of tea.
The term biscuit comes to English from the 🇫🇷 French biscuit (bis-qui), which itself has a Latin root: panis biscotus refers to bread twice-cooked.
The earliest surviving example of a biscuit is from 1784, and it is a ship’s biscuit. They were renowned for their inedibility, and were so indestructible that some sailors used them as postcards…it is said.
It can be viewed in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London… That’s also where Nelson’s blood stained jacket can be found, which he wore at the Battle of Trafalgar….
…but I digress…
