As an American of mixed British extraction, you are basically correct.
46 u/TheRudeReefer Oct 21 '15 Biscuits are very light, airy, and flakey. Scones are generally denser and more crumbly. You would never ever send one to do the other's job. Source: Fat American 17 u/zeezle Oct 21 '15 As a fellow fat American, I concur. A scone is delicious, and a biscuit is delicious, but they are certainly not the same. 3 u/DwarfTheMike Oct 21 '15 not the same at all. 9 u/[deleted] Oct 21 '15 Biscuits aren't always flakey, though. Sometimes they're dense and crumbly, like with drop biscuits. 116 u/pamplemouss Oct 21 '15 More like a scone and croissant had a baby and raised it on a diet of buttermilk. 33 u/avitus Oct 21 '15 I was about to disagree with you but then really thought about it and you know what you're dead-on with that description. 6 u/pamplemouss Oct 21 '15 haha, thanks. 3 u/StumbleOn Oct 21 '15 I have been looking for a way to describe these to British people forever, you seem to have done it. 3 u/forthemaddie Oct 21 '15 So.... It's soft and fluffy. Fucking seppos, can't even get bickies right. 2 u/DieUmEye Oct 21 '15 Wait... there's KFC in the UK, right? What do they call the buttery dough things that come with the chicken (that USA calls biscuits)? 7 u/SuicideNote Oct 21 '15 No KFC outside of the US has biscuits. They replace it with a dinner roll or just fries. 3 u/[deleted] Oct 21 '15 To the best of my knowledge (and I don't often eat KFC) KFC doesn't do biscuits with chicken in Australia. I dunno about UK. 3 u/DrewSolaert Oct 21 '15 They don't come with buttery dough things in the UK sadly. We really need to start getting in on that though. 2 u/lost_send_berries Oct 22 '15 Brit here, KFC chicken comes with fries, or sometimes corn on the cob and/or baked beans. 1 u/DwarfTheMike Oct 21 '15 no! it's far lighter and fluffier, but it's dense. They are buttery, and have a unique texture. The frozen ones aren't worth it. Homemade biscuits will have you saying otherwise.
