Jeg ser at jeg ikke var veldig tydelig. Biscuits er IKKE søte, i motsetning
til scones. Her er en oppskrift som kanskje vil hjelpe? (Biscuits kan f.eks.
også spises til middag, dyppet i brun saus. Det er vanligere i sørstatene
enn nordpå.)

Baking Powder Biscuit Recipe
2 cups of sifted pastry flour
2 to 4 tablespoonfuls shortening
4 level teaspoonfuls of baking powder
1/2 to 2/3 cup of milk or water
1/2 teaspoonful of salt
Pass together through a sieve, three times, the flour, salt and baking
powder. With a knife or the tips of the fingers work in the shortening; add
the liquid a little at a time, mixing it with a knife meanwhile to a soft
dough, but one that can be handled. Turn the dough on to a floured board,
turn it with the knife until lightly floured, then knead with the hands
slightly, to get it into a smooth mass; pat with the rolling pin and roll
into a sheet about three-fourths an inch thick; cut into rounds; set these
close together in a buttered pan and bake from fifteen to twenty minutes.
White flour, or half white and half entire wheat or Graham flour or rye
meal, may be used. The recipe makes from twelve to sixteen biscuits,
according to size.
