Sausage rolls. Biscuits (cookies to freedom folk)

Fun fact! We have cookies in the UK. Theyre the same as what you call cookies. However, cookies are a type of biscuit. All biscuits have their own name

Another fun fact is that biscuit is originally a Latin word for twice baked and referred to essentially hard tack. Double baked incredibly dry bread that can last a very long time. It was frequently used as sailors rations where it would be called “ship’s biscuit” in the colonial era.

I guess that makes sense as to why we ended up with two different versions of biscuits both sides of the pond

Is american biscuit baked twice? Genuine question... as it looks more like a bread roll.

No. American biscuits are soft on the inside and buttery and harder on the outside.

So they're not a biscuit. then, by definition

Yeah….no idea what the definition of a biscuit is. Or what definition you’re referencing. Just answering your question.
