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 similar to scones, but are more savory than sweet. In the UK, the term 'biscuit' means a cookie, which is the older definition. In the French language, "biscuit" is the word for cookie.
