About Biscuits

Biscuits are a beloved baked treat originating from British cuisine, often enjoyed as a quick bread or snack. Made with simple ingredients such as flour, butter or oil, milk, sugar, baking powder, and salt, they boast a soft, flaky texture when prepared correctly. Depending on the recipe, biscuits can range from savory to sweet, offering a versatile option in cooking and baking. Nutritionally, biscuits are a source of carbohydrates, providing energy, but they may also be high in saturated fats and sugar, depending on the preparation. Whole-grain variations can add fiber and valuable nutrients, making them a slightly healthier choice. While they are an indulgent treat in moderation, frequent consumption of heavily processed or sugary versions may contribute to excessive calorie intake. Biscuits can be a delightful accompaniment to meals or tea, though balancing them with nutrient-dense foods is key to maintaining overall health.
