biscuits go in tea. What you have there is a breakfast muffin.

>>4329487
That sounds really delicious.
Can good biscuits be made without butter?

That's not a biscuit, OP.

Definitely sausage gravy or honey and butter

>>4329497
Please stop trying to shit up this thread Brit.

I like just butter on them or sausage gravy.

>>4329502
You quoted the wrong person; I'm not British.

>>4329503
You're still attempting to stir up trouble. Please leave.

>>4329508
OP asked what goes on biscuits, and I told him/her that biscuits go in tea, which is correct. Stop annoying me.

>>4329511
>hehehe I call biscuits something completely different so I'm going to call out op and try and make a funny!

>>4329536
We don't actually have a word for american "biscuits" at all. You'd just get blank looks once you've established it's not a scone.

>>4329536
Those aren't biscuits.

>>4329546
Looks like a muffin to me, Brit.

>>4329550
A muffin is a small sponge cake.

>>4329553
English muffin; That's an American muffin.

>>4329554
Having lived in England all my life I've never encountered the term "English muffin" or any foodstuff that would meet that definition outside the internet.

>>4329558
very similar to a crumpet, but made from a dough, not a batter, and is cooked on both sides of the skillet.

>>4329558
>calls himself british
>has never eaten a full English breakfast with muffins

>>4329560
I think you meant
>and is cooked on both sides *in* the skillet

a skillet is a frying pan, and it doesn't matter what side of the frying pan you cook it on because the cooking area is an evenly heated disc.

>>4329546
Ingredients are very close to a savory scone though, just not sweet or with any herbs added. Sometimes made with buttermilk.

>>4329569
pardon my lack of caffeene. yes. cooked on both sides in the skillet.

>>4329293
if it was hot and soft, a good smear of apple butter. oh god

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_breakfast#Common_foods_and_dishes

Wikipedia says that “biscuit” is American for muffin.

>>4329575
because wikipedia is never wrong, right?
muffin is more of a mini sponge cake, and has nearly nothing in common, ingredient percentage-wise, with an American "biscuit"

SAUSAGE MOTHERFUCKING GRAVY
Second choice jam.

These are nothing like biscuits. Why is it so hard for Brits to understand that our biscuits are something completely different and we have a wider variety of food?

>>4329582
Muffins are nothing like sponge cakes, unless you are talking about American “muffins” (which I am not).

Great discussion guys.

>>4329293
My favorite thing for biscuits is butter and honey, followed closely by sausage gravy.

>>4329575

Nope. Also it says 'English Muffin' which aren't regular muffins.

In the USA:
>Biscuit: OP's picture, flaky delicious bread, moist and chewy when done right
>Muffin: A larger cupcake sans-icing. Usually the fake 'healthy' alternative because there are raisin/oat/berry/fruit/whatever the fuck else muffins. Many people only eat the caps.
>English Muffin: Strange flat bread that you usually slice in half and toast. Soaks up sauces/gravy very well so good alongside breakfast foods that drip. Has lots of holes and I genuinely don't know how its made or why it is called an English Muffin

>>4329588

We'll give you that.

>>4329602
It also says that English muffins are regular muffins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_muffin

What is this then?

>>4329609
That's also a muffin. But we don't eat those for breakfast.

This board is "Food and Cooking" so I don't think this is too out of place or off-topic, but here's some percentages to compare American goods. Everything is expressed in baker's percentages (google it) and from the same baking textbook. For reference I live in California.

Biscuits (American):
100 Flour
65 Milk
35 Butter
2 Salt
5 Sugar
6 Baking Powder

Scone:
100 Flour
45 Milk
40 Butter
15 Eggs
1 Salt
12.5 Sugar
6 Baking Powder

Scones and Biscuits are mixed exactly the same (In the baking industry this is called the "Biscuit Method"
So there. All you brits are informed. I'll post up some for other goods for comparison if wanted.

And for the record, an "English Muffin" is made using a yeasted bread dough, similar to baguette dough.

gravy ahhhhhhh

>>4329609
I'll never understand how people see these as breakfast food. It's a fucking little cake. Why don't you just go full fattie and have a slice of cheesecake with your eggs

>>4329635
Maybe everyone isn't a lazy sloth like you.

>>4329635
It's sweet, goes well with coffee, and usually runs around 300-odd calories a piece.

It's not a bad breakfast as long as that's ALL you're eating.

>>4329636
>Cupcakes are too fattie to eat for breakfast
>makes fun of people for eating them
>HURR DURR LAZY PIG

I'm against eating food like that, dummy. Reading comprehension

>>4329638
No real nutrition though. It's empty calories (you know what I mean, no vitamins, protein, anything like that). I just cant justify starting my day with a cake, you know? They do taste awfully good though, I'll give you that

>>4329647
eh just take a vitamin pill and get your protein etc at later meals. that's how I do it

>>4329670
Fair enough, can't fault anyone for that

>>4329670
>take a vitamin pill
There really isn't any convincing evidence suggesting that a multivitamin is a substitute for proper nutrition.

There's nothing about nutrition that says you have to get it balanced across all three meals.

If you're meeting your dietary needs with the rest of the food that day and all you need from breakfast is calories, that's fine.

gbt /fit/ you fucking faggots.

>ctrl+f "syrup"

None of you are true biscuit eaters. First time I had biscuits in the South, had that shit warm with a nice layer of syrup.

Butter and honey

Or, bacon gravy.

That is all you ever need.

Hmm
Usually if I have biscuits I'll save it for the end of my meal and have it with honey
But if there's gravy I'll have it with gravy

Strawberry jam and clotted cream.

>>4329293
biscuits are so fuucking nasty
literally the worst thing there is to eat. so fucking nasty and makes your mouth dry. terrible

gravy of course

Gravy, or jam/jelly.

Also, if you put butter and jam/jelly on toast you should be shot and killed.
