Answer explanation

The word “biscuit” comes from the Latin ‘bis’ (twice) and ‘coquere’ (cooked). It essentially means twice baked! More firm, thinner and fluffier than a cookie, biscuits require a harder dough to create the correct texture.

These deliciously crumbly treats are usually made with only a few ingredients, butter, flour and sugar. This makes them the perfect dippable treat, as they absorb the rich flavours in coffee and tea!
