MODERATORS
Ah OK, so biscuit means savoury scones.
Every time I have this conversation with Americans they insist that it's nothing like scones but then they describe something suspiciously sconelike
It’s a buttery scone with the layered texture of a croissant that’s had a weight pressed down on it.
This is the best description
No. Absolutely not. Unlike scones, biscuits have a nice texture.
A good scone is kinda crunchy outside with a nice soft inside. They change texture pretty quickly though.
I'm doing something wrong then. Mine come out more arid than desert sand.
sconophobia is deeply ingrained in the american south
The scones available in the American South suck. They suck when I have made them myself. I've tried 3 different recipes. I can make some buttermilk biscuits though, and they are glorious. So either scones suck, like in general, or they don't bake right in our climate.
I was raised by Southern women and you know what? This is accurate. The Southern style biscuit is basically an American scone. I’d never considered this before, but it is correct.
it's not the same gravy either. it's made from uncased sausage, the grease from the sausage, flour, and milk. both are very simple to make at home, give it a try!
edit: pics to clarify "sausage" just in case
it's usually pressed into patties as pictured but for gravy you just brown it like ground beef
