About Biscuit

Biscuits are a type of baked bread product, often associated with Southern U.S. cuisine but enjoyed worldwide in various forms. They are typically made from simple ingredients like flour, baking powder or baking soda, butter or shortening, milk or buttermilk, and a touch of salt. Flaky, tender, and versatile, biscuits can be served savory or sweet, paired with toppings such as gravy, butter, or jam. Nutritionally, biscuits are a source of carbohydrates and fats, providing quick energy, but they can also be high in calories, saturated fats, and refined grains. Whole-grain or reduced-fat versions can offer a healthier alternative, adding fiber and reducing unhealthy fats. While not often considered a health food, biscuits can fit into a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation. Variations of similar baked goods appear globally, such as scones in British cuisine, showcasing the universal appeal of this comforting treat.
