What is another name for sweetened biscuits?

Answer 1

Well, the answer rather depends on whether or not you are English or American. As a Texan, who is also a bit of an Anglophile, I will answer it both ways.

If you are American, then by 'biscuits' you must mean our good-ole baking-soda style biscuits that we like to slather butter, jelly or gravy on. Then the answer would be a 'scone' which is from Great Britain and Ireland and the like. They come in a variety of flavors like plain, blueberry, cranberry, cinnamon, etc. They, too, get slathered with jams and jellies and a must is clotted cream, which is a sinfully lushious cream with a heavy weight behind it.

Now, if you're an Englishman (or woman), then the answer would be 'cookies'. They come in too numerous to mention flavors, but our favorites would probably be chocolate chip or a plain butter, but again, a bunch of flavors out there and most cookies are round and flat, but some are puffy and light. Pretty much all are yummy! And, as a note, 'crackers' or 'saltines' are our salty biscuits. Oh, and Americans: if you ask for a 'cracker' over there, you'll get something entirely different! :)

Hope that helps!
