Biscuits are a type of baked good that is typically small, flat, and either sweet or savory in flavor. They are made from flour, fat, sugar (if sweet), and leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda. Sweet biscuits may contain sugar, butter, and flavors like vanilla, chocolate, or fruit. They can be simple or complex, with varying levels of sweetness and texture, from soft and crumbly to hard and crunchy. Savory biscuits are often made with cheese, herbs, or spices and can be served as a snack or an appetizer. They may be thin, crisp, thicker, and softer and are often enjoyed with wine or beer.
