Cakes, cupcakes, or any other snack -- all are okay. But when it comes to our morning tea or evening chai break, we cannot do away without the crunch of sweet or savoury, yummy biscuits. The tradition of offering these humble titbits to sudden visits from friends still holds strong. When dinner seems a long way off or we are too lazy to prepare a post-lunch snack, opening and munching away on a pack of biscuits holds its own charm.

There is in fact no occasion to have a biscuit. Bored? Rummage through the kitchen shelves and pop in a biscuit. Only one left in the tin? Finish it before anyone else does. Had a good day? Have a celebration biscuit. Had an incredibly bad day? Have a cheer-me-up biscuit. Actually we can go on and on, while adding perfectly valid reasons for the never-ending biscuit fetish. But before going any further, why not get an idea about the origin of these pop-me-ins? How did they transform into everyone’s favourite? So here is how the famous story for biscuits recipe goes.

Long journeys, particularly sea voyages, in earlier times, usually required nutritious food. This demanded carrying live food along with a cook or butcher -- which  took up additional space. However, the invention of baked items, processed cereals, and flour promised a more reliable source of food. While the Egyptian sailors carried flat, brittle loaves of millet bread called dhourra cake, the Romans travelled with biscuits called buccellum. The latter is described in the Roman cookbook Apicius, "A thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate. When it had dried and hardened, it was cut up and then fried until crisp, then served with honey and pepper."

According to the belief of ancient physicians, daily biscuit consumption solved health issues related to digestion. For longer shelf lives, easy storage and transportation, early bakers created hard and dry biscuits. These were then dipped in liquids such as brine or coffee in order to soften them before eating. The treats were an important part of the diet for the Royal Navy, Spanish Armada until the introduction of canned food. By the 7th century, the Persians incorporated eggs, butter, cream, and sweeteners into these bread-based mixtures, in order to carve lighter, more flavoured biscuits. Some of the earliest biscuit confectioneries were ginger biscuits, digestives, and crackers.

The common practice of dunking biscuits in tea and then relishing them is actually an idea from 19th century Britain. Since then, these snacks have become an inevitable part of our diet, regardless of our ever-increasing waistlines. New, savvy additions such cereal and nutri bars might have arrived as few new kids in the block; but traditional biscuit packets still remain our favourite choice.

Yes, we know biscuits are the finest examples of quick pop-me-ins. But if you really wish to relish every bite of these sumptuous treats, we would like to introduce you to some delicious biscuit-nibbling tricks. To dunk or not to dunk? Well for the dunkers out there, for whom the morning practice of having tea and biscuits is an almost religious ritual, you can dip half, then a quarter, and finally the last quarter -- while holding the tips with your hands. Now what if it's a chocolate-covered biscuit? Well, we would advise not to make your chocolate soggy. Lick it off first and then continue nibbling on the rest. And when it comes to cream biscuits, finish off the fondant layer first, followed by dunking the rest in your beverage and savouring it. You must be wondering; why these elaborate instructions? Well, we want you to feel the full flavours of your favourite treats!
