Plain biscuits are simple baked goods made primarily from flour, water or milk, butter, and a leavening agent such as baking powder. Originating from British cuisine, they are versatile staple items often enjoyed as snacks or accompaniments to meals. While their basic ingredients provide carbohydrates for energy, plain biscuits typically have minimal fiber, making them less nutrient-dense than whole-grain alternatives. They contain fats from butter, contributing to their rich flavor but also adding calories. Biscuits are low in sugar compared to sweeter treats, yet their refined flour can lead to quick spikes in blood sugar. They provide small amounts of calcium and protein if milk is used in the recipe, though these levels are modest. Plain biscuits can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet but are best complemented by nutrient-rich foods such as fruits or vegetables to boost overall nutritional value.
