[From Chapter 35, "Recipes" for "Bread, Biscuits, and Cakes"]

1742. Ingredients.--1 lb. of flour, 1/2 lb. of butter, 1/2 lb. of sifted sugar, the yolks of 6 eggs, flavouring to taste.

Mode.--Put the butter into a basin; warm it, but do not allow it to oil; then with the hand beat it to a cream. Add the flour by degrees, then the sugar and flavouring, and moisten the whole with the yolks of the eggs, which should previously be well beaten. When all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, drop the mixture from a spoon on to a buttered paper, leaving a distance between each cake, as they spread as soon as they begin to get warm.

Bake in rather a slow oven from 12 to 18 minutes, and do not let the biscuits acquire too much colour. In making the above quantity, half may be flavoured with ground ginger and the other half with essence of lemon or currants, to make a variety. With whatever the preparation is flavoured, so are the biscuits called; and an endless variety may be made in this manner.

Time.--12 to 18 minutes, or rather longer, in a very slow oven. Average cost, 1s. 6d.

Sufficient to make from 3 to 4 dozen cakes. Seasonable at any time.

What could the ANZAC biscuits be based on?

The ANZAC biscuits were so named because they were made by the women at home and sold to buy small necessities and luxuries for the ANZAC troops in World War I. These little "comforts of home" included things like soap, toothpaste, pencils, books and lollies.

The ANZAC biscuits were also sent to the troops because, being flat and made with oats and syrup, they travelled well and lasted longer, unlike standard cakes and biscuits. Originally the biscuits were called "soldiers' biscuits", and only gained the name "ANZAC biscuits" towards the end of the war, long after the unsuccessful Gallipoli campaign. It was an expression of patriotic pride in the Australian and New Zealand troops serving overseas.

What does the word biscuit mean in England?

The UK don't really have the american style "biscuit" or "biscuits and gravy". The closest thing to it would either be a crusty bread roll, or a scone (or a fusion of the two).

The Americans have got this one badly wrong, however. The word "biscuit" is french, and comes from the latin "bis coctus" (bis=twice, coctus=cook). The literal translation in both french and latin means "cooked twice" - which of course the american "biscuit" is NOT cooked twice... so maybe a new word is required for them :p

Is it bad to freeze biscuit dough?

Sure, why not? Although I wouldn't recommend it. Food tastes a little odd after it has been in the freezer...

Added -> actually, there is always a "why not" when it comes to freezing various doughs. Baking is like chemistry and the reactions of the ingredients are what turn the powders/liquids into yummy goodies. If you freeze something, will it affect the reactions? It depends on the dough in question... and in this case, I think you should be able to freeze it without affecting how it rises, etc. Check your recipe though. If it is more or less like a basic cookie dough or loaf (or in between) then you should be ok to freeze it. But, if it is more like a cake mix style recipe then it won't rise properly later.

Food only tastes funny if you have a stinky freezer or leave things there too long. Biscotti doesn't usually have butter so there aren't a lot of oils to absorb the tastes of other foods. High fat content baked goods absorb more odours.

See the related question (linked below) for more info and links.

Rabbits of any age should not eat crackers, breads, seeds, nuts, dairy, egg, or meat products; some healthy rabbits are okay with a super-tiny treat of grains (like one or two oat groats) every now and again, but it's not necessary.
