Biscuits
A biscuit is a flour-based baked and shaped food item. In many English-speaking countries, including Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, India, and South Africa, this is the term. However, Canada and the US do not use it this way. Biscuits are typically hard, flat, and unleavened. They are usually sweet and may be made with sugar, chocolate, icing, jam, ginger, or cinnamon. They can also be savory, similar to crackers. Types of biscuit include biscotti, sandwich biscuits, digestive biscuits, ginger biscuits, shortbread biscuits, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate-coated marshmallow treats, Anzac biscuits, and speculaas.
In most of North America, nearly all hard sweet biscuits are called “cookies” and savory biscuits are called “crackers”, while the term biscuit is used for a soft, leavened quick bread similar to a savory version of a scone. (Wikipedia)
