American biscuits (Was:Tortillas and enchiladas)

[Carol]

Carol earlier:
> 
> "Crackers" for "biscuit" as "biscuit" is used by Americans? Really?
> 
> Crackers for Americans are flat and crispy; biscuits are fluffy and
use baking powder rather than yeast to make them rise. They're
generally served with butter or margarine, sometimes with honey or
jam. Crackers are generally salty and served as snacks, not as part of
a meal. Graham crackers are sweet and sometimes served with peanut butter.

Carol again:
Oops! I knew I forgot something. Here's a pic of  American-style
biscuits, some of them whole and some sliced in half with butter or jam:

In contrast, these are various crackers:

I imagine that we Americans use that word the same way Brits do, but I
could easily be mistaken. No doubt I've forgotten something else (I
didn't look up graham crackers, for example), but I'm not sure whether
I need to. Oh, yeah. "Cabin bread," mentioned by Goddlefrood. I came
up with this photo:

Looks like some sort of cracker to me and not at all what Americans
mean by a biscuit. (You really need to try one, Goddlefrood, but
somehow I don't think I could send one all fresh and hot from the oven
all the way to Fiji.)
