Biscuits are a type of baked good made from flour, butter or shortening, milk or buttermilk, and a leavening agent like baking powder or soda. Originally hailing from European cuisine, they are especially popular in American Southern cooking, where they are served as a savory side or enjoyed with sweet toppings. Biscuits are typically soft, flaky, and buttery, with a golden crust. Nutritionally, biscuits are a source of carbohydrates and fats, providing quick energy. However, traditional biscuits are often high in refined flour, saturated fats, and sodium, which may not align with health-conscious diets. Healthier versions can be made by incorporating whole-grain flours, reducing added butter, or using plant-based fats. While delicious, moderation is recommended to balance their indulgent nature with a nutrient-rich diet.
