correction -- scone is not a synonym, which is why Starbucks (American company) sells scones and not biscuits
A biscuit is a small form of bread made with baking powder or baking soda as a leavening agent rather than yeast. When prepared properly, they are soft and flaky. They are referred to as a [[scone]] by the British, since in the UK the term 'biscuit' means a [[cookie]]. In the French language, "biscuit" is the word for [[cookie]].
