I'm tired. I haven't been to sleep yet. My shoulder hurts, so I went downstairs and fixed some chicken and biscuits from last night's leftovers.

Fixed? And I don't think that chicken and biscuits are very good together

I sliced some chicken breast and put some mayonaisse on a biscuit. Very tasty.

American biscuits aren't like English biscuits. American biscuits are similar to what you may call scones. They are a bread, not a sweet treat.

 

[Keefur]

Scones and biscuits are both very similar. As you can see from the ingredient list below, the two share many of the same ingredients, albeit in differing proportions.

Similariarities: Both are 'quick breads', leavened with baking soda or baking powder. Each combines flour and fat to form a dough. I've aligned the ingredient listing side-by-side, to easier see the similarities.

I don't use sugar in my recipe when I make them from scratch.

There really isn't a British equivalent to an American biscuit.

Biscuits are very tasty with things like butter or jam/jelly. They are good with sliced meats or sausage gravy, too.

In Italy we have the normal sweet biscuits.
Strange, in merican movies I've always seen the classic chocolate cookies

Well, they do sound like our savory/sweet scones.

Biscuits aren't sweet at all. They are like a not too dense bread.

Yes. I love chocolate chip cookies.

Chocolate cookies are not sweet? .-.

Hello

Biscuits you would normally eat with a meal like a regular loaf of bread. Chocolate chip cookies are a sweet treat that you would eat for dessert.

Ooohh now I get it. You make bread and then you call it biscuit! Right...?

Yes. They are a different kind of bread. There are also different styles of biscuits. Some are layered and separate easily, some are not. Some are also made with buttermilk.

What's buttermilk?
