Plain biscuits, a staple in various cuisines, are simple baked goods typically made from flour, fat (like butter or shortening), milk or water, and leavening agents such as baking powder. Originating in European traditions, they have become popular worldwide due to their versatility and easy preparation. Plain biscuits are generally low in sugar, making them a less sweet option compared to other pastries. They can provide energy through carbohydrates but often lack significant amounts of fiber, vitamins, or protein. While their minimal sugar content may appeal to those seeking a less sugary snack, the refined nature of the flour and potential inclusion of saturated fats make them less ideal for frequent consumption. Enjoyed on their own or as an accompaniment to soups, spreads, or gravies, plain biscuits are a comfort food best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
