National Biscuit Day - A Delicious Celebration on May 29th!

Okay, let's talk about one of the most exciting (and delicious) holidays of the year - National Biscuit Day! On May 29th, people from all over the world come together to celebrate the flaky, buttery, and oh-so-scrumptious treats that bring so much joy to our lives. And trust me, you won't want to miss out on this biscuit-filled extravaganza!

A Brief History of Biscuits...

But before we dive into the celebrations, let's take a quick look back at the history of biscuits. The word "biscuit" comes from the Latin "bis coctus," which means "twice-cooked." Apparently, back in the 17th century, biscuits were baked twice to make them crispy and long-lasting. They quickly became a staple in many European households, especially in the British Isles, where they were often served with tea. And who can blame them?!

Traditions and Celebrations

Now that we've got the history out of the way, let's talk about the best part - the traditions and celebrations! On National Biscuit Day, people come together to bake, share, and enjoy an astonishing amount of biscuits with friends, family, and even strangers (because, let's be real, sharing biscuits is the best way to make new friends).

One popular tradition is to have a "Biscuit-Bake-Off" where people come together to show off their biscuit-making skills. The competition can get fiercely competitive, but in the end, everyone's a winner because, well, there are just so many biscuits!

Another fun tradition is to have a "Biscuit-Tasting Tour" where you visit local bakeries, cafes, and sample their unique biscuit flavors. It's a great way to explore your local community, meet new people, and of course, stuff your face with biscuits.

And if you're feeling extra adventurous, you can always host your own biscuit-filled" party! Invite friends over, bake a gazillion biscuits, and have a blast. You could even set up a "Biscuit Bar" with different toppings and spreads. The possibilities are endless!

He even shares his favorite recipes on social media! And if you're a fan of the British baking show "The Great British Baking Show," you'll know that judge, Paul Hollywood, is extremely particular about his biscuits. He's even written a book about it!
