Beaten biscuits are a baked good associated with the Southern United States, dating from the 19th century. They differ from regular American soft-dough biscuits in that they are more like hardtack. In New England they are called "sea biscuits", as they were staples aboard whaling ships. Beaten biscuits are also historically associated with Maryland cuisine.
