No expectations set us up for no failure but is such life worth living? Let’s make these Keto biscuits with great expectations!
Biscuits have a bit of a rough linguistic history. Not because biscuit originates from the French and simply means double baked but because apart from the US, the rest of the English-speaking world it means something totally different when thinking about having a bit of a biscuit for their 5 o’clock tea.
Luckily, Canada is with us in this too, so the fight for what biscuits should look like isn’t completely lost, but originally biscuits were small flat unleavened dried out things, made of some sort of flour or its derivates like breadcrumbs.
What are biscuits?
People across the centuries used them as an easy to carry portable nourishment on long voyages. As biscuits were double baked, hence completely dried out as long as they were kept that way, they were edible. A great example of its hardiness is a biscuit -today known as Hardtack – on display in a museum from 1862. Biscuits were dunked in tea, coffee, milk, gravy then consumed softened or in eggs, brine then fried and served as a meal.
Once biscuits found their way over the Atlantic, things have got a bit of a makeover and all those biscuits stood for, they have known as cookies.
The term biscuit lived on and became to what it is still known today, a small savory piece of bread with a somewhat firm, dry exterior and soft, crumbly interior.
What is keto biscuit?
Luckily, such descriptions are easy to follow, even if we choose to go on a carbs free diet but don’t want to leave behind our favorite snack. Keto biscuits are easy to make and can be a grateful little piece of joy in our keto recipe book.
Although low in carbs, almonds are high in calories. If our diet is restricted by any calorie limit, however tempting, gulping down keto biscuits by the dozen will still have its consequences.
