    Awesome, thank you - I am guilty of using a lot of British slang after all.

    Hope you have a good day!

      Thank you.

      You’ve got me curious, if Americans call these things biscuits:

      flour

      baking powder

      sugar

      salt

      butter

      milk

      Bake in oven for 12 minutes or until tops turn lightly golden brown.

      What do UK people call these?

        My friend, I can write my entire knowledge of baking on the back of a postage stamp in black marker, but judging by the pictures, I’d call them scones - the pronunciation of which is a matter of controversy even in the UK.

        They would be small cakes though, speaking generically!

          You’d probably like the video series where British guys try American fast food for the first time. Specifically the one where they go to Popeyes, they called the biscuit a scone but loved it.

            That was so fun to watch. I doubt they’d ever had that much butter and fat in anything before. Lol
