Biscuit Discourse: There are two types of American biscuit

So, something that floated into my brain in the middle of the night last night is that the USA has two types of biscuit - neither of which is anything like the British biscuit. Because this debate needs to be more confusing, obviously.

We have the crumbly biscuit, and the flaky biscuit.

The crumbly biscuit is the Red Lobster cheese biscuit. If you pick up this biscuit and try to pull it apart, you're likely to end up with a pile of crumbs. These biscuits don't require any kneading or folding; you just plop the dough down straight on the baking pan and cook them.

The flaky biscuit is more commonly known as the buttermilk biscuit. If you pull apart a flaky biscuit, it comes apart in clean horizontal layers. These biscuits are made with cold butter, then folded multiple times to create the layers, then cut into (usually) round biscuits before baking.

Okay I am fighting for my life for biscuits and gravy in the discord chat so here we go.....

Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits

thinking about the best interaction I've ever had on a dating app

dense like a hearty american biscuit has changed how I speak

and all of this hell is real billboard discourse to say nothing about how on an average drive through certain parts of appalachia you’ll just see multiple random abandoned barns with like THE WORLD IS ENDING TOMORROW!!! TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!!!! REPENT!!!! painted on the roof. not even a mega church or a televangelist that’s just some guy that did that. and you just have to drive on past like well they don’t mean anything by it because believing in like imminent apocalyptic doom is just how it is

Do you think "biscuits" could be the british cookies? would kneading that make sense?

still no dice!! british biscuits are more shortbread-cookie adjacent, which are similar to american biscuits in the sense that you don't want them to be chewy (so you don't want to knead it), and you don't want the butter to melt before you bake them (so you don't want to over-handle it)

americans really did go the fuck off with a lot of their food like even something as simple as pb&j..they deserve their knobs gobbled for that
