I do be wondering what a British person would call a Southern style US biscuit… Which is sweet (they’re usually glazed with honey), but still not like a cookie.
I think they are closest to a scone. There’s a YouTube series I can’t recall the name of that has British teens try American foods. One of the ones they did was biscuits and gravy. The Brits were mostly in shock at how good it was.
I’ve never met someone that actually wanted that little roll and I’m not sure I’d trust someone that did. Begrudgingly eat with apathy? Sure that’s fine. But actively want it? Nah.
Not usually glazed with honey, but sometimes (and it’s good too). Most are buttery flaky goodness you cover with sausage gravy or cut in half to sandwich a slice of cheddar.
The key when making them is not to crush your butter too much with your fork.
I don’t either, but in America biscuits are savory or near flavorless, not sweet like cookies.
They need to get better biscuits then!
Yes, ours are all limp.
Tell me what you’re gonna do now.
What British people call biscuits are called cookies in America. American biscuits are more like what British people call scones
But a cookie is still a cookie - e.g. the one in the meme. That bit is universal.
Sweet is not inherently better than savory. Some of us think it’s worse.

We’re pretty obsessed with gravy tbh. Never had a savoury scone but expect it must be a similar vibe to dumplings in a stew.
In Australia KFC automatically comes with a crappy little bread bun called a dinner roll and I don’t see the appeal.
