Jealous, jealous, jealous! Biscuits are one of the few things I simply cannot get right. Lucky you to have OmegaDad to do it.

BA–I’m leaving the work up to OmegaDad, since he does so well now!

Kaz–(By the way, “HI!”) They are more like scones, though I always think of scones as slightly sweet, and definitely denser and more crumbly. A good Amurikan biscuit is light and flaky.

Noreen–His recipe is straight out of The Joy of Cooking, though he uses more butter than the recipe calls for. It’s entirely the technique that makes the biscuit.

Lauri–The only thing that compares is bread fresh out of the oven. Of course, with jam or preserves!

Is OmegaDad’s recipe a secret, or for sharing? After a couple of failed attempts on my part, the refrigerated kind from the supermarket have been put to use when biscuits were called for. And, I love breakfast for dinner.

Too right, Kaz. Interestingly enough, the huge maker(baker) of ‘cookies’ in the US is NABISCO–National Biscuit Company–how ’bout dat??

Now, to me, being English a biscuit is what you guys call a cookie. American biscuits are more like our scones. I’m assuming you mean scones rather than cookies here…..?
