As per the records of the popular cookbooks, the origin of biscuits came from Roman. Before setting out for voyages, the sailors needed some healthy and nutritious foodstuff to carry along in the long extended sea journeys. The Egyptians prepared thick flour paste on a pan, cooked it and left it to dry for few hours. Naturally, the thick paste got hardened and was then cut into circle shapes to bake until crisp. The sailors ate them with pepper and honey. The sole reason for carrying biscuits was they could be stored for a long time without being spoilt.  In Egypt, these crispy biscuits are called “Dhourra” and the Romans called them “Buccellum”.   Even at times, sailors used to bake them twice or thrice so that the crust hardens more and then they dunked them in coffee or brine to get a better taste of it.
