A biscuit is a small, baked, flour-based food product that is usually crisp and dry. Biscuits can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors, and can be sweet or savory. In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, the term "biscuit" refers specifically to a sweet, dry, crunchy biscuit that is often eaten with tea or coffee, while in the United States, "biscuit" typically refers to a soft, fluffy bread-like roll. Biscuits can be made from a variety of ingredients, including flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and flavorings such as chocolate or fruit. They can be enjoyed on their own or used as a base for other desserts, such as cheesecake crusts or pie crusts.
