What is a biscuit in America?
We have biscuits in U.K. which are made from a sweet dough rolled thin and baked until quite crisp. They can be plain or flavoured in many ways and we tend to eat them with a cup of tea or coffee as a snack, but I think you in the U.S. would call the same product a cookie.
However, I’ve heard Americans refer to biscuits so am wondering what they are. What are they made of and with what would you eat them?
I’ve also heard Americans refer to crackers and wonder if they are also a totally different product. Here, a cracker would still come in the range of our biscuits but they are very light and crisp with air bubbles in and we usually eat them with butter and/or cheese.
From the answers I have received so far it seems that an American biscuit is almost a cross between our bread roll and our scone. I’ll have to look up a few American recipes and try them.
Your cracker certainly seems to be pretty much like ours and eaten in the same way.
crackers are flat and very dry and usually lightly salted. they are enjoyed with usually cheese/meat and also put into soups
for biscuits they are layered dough that is cut into circle then baked resulting in fluffy but yet kinda firm bread. they are usually eaten during dinner, before actually food is ordered or eaten, with some butter.
