[HPFGU-OTChatter] Biscuits... close to the truth?

Well that's British gravy, so it *is* the same thing...

<<American biscuits are flour, baking powder, salt,
grease/butter/lard(southern) water or milk or buttermilk (southern)
basically ... you mix it up, roll it out, cut them, place them on a greased
baking sheet and bake in the oven until the tops are golden brown. >>

Okay, we're getting close here.  If Bisquick can be used to make pancakes or
biscuits, that means it's a batter base, and that biscuits are much like a
firm batter pudding, cut into chunks.  In other words, we may be talking
about something like a cross between short pastry, scones and Yorkshire
Pudding.  Are biscuits crunchy, chewy, flaky or crumbly?
