Introduction: The Ever-Expanding World of Biscuits

Among baked products, biscuits are arguably the most favorite of all, as they can be taken with tea in Britain, used as a quick source of energy in America, and served in various forms in many more countries during special occasions. However, the term ‘biscuit’ is relative; it differs with the location whether it is the dry crispy sweets in the UK or the soft savory goods in the southern part of America, but they are loved everywhere.  

.

Having been traditionally used to preserve food for long travels on horse or camel backs, biscuits over time and seasons have continuously transformed to become different types and forms. The variation ranges from the rich and creamy Scottish shortbread to the sweet and crispy Italian wafers called biscotti; biscuits are as diverse as their fans. Today, biscuits are not just found in kitchen cupboards as they have transcended to being a major element of the food industry with cross-border influences, branded items, homemade recipes and handcrafted variations appealing to different generations.
