    Don’t think of a sweet dry disc (what Americans call a “cookie”), think of a thick round doughy scone, slightly salty and buttery, designed to receive either sweet (various jams or jellies) or savory (fried cured meats, eggs, cheese) accompaniment.

      It’s funny that this distinction needs to be made every time biscuits are mentioned in the post. There were some very confused non-Americans in the comments of a biscuits and gravy meme the other day

        True, but in my experience opening the tube is nowhere near as violent. Biscuits in particular, I suspect by virtue of their yeast content, cause the kind of danger referenced here.

      If they’re made right, they’re close to cylindrical croissants.

          You should be able to tear the biscuit apart into thin layers that are only a little more dense than a croissant.
