biscuit

Gravy's soaking partner

A biscuit is a small baked bread, though what counts as one varies by region.

In American English, a biscuit is a soft, flaky quick bread served with meals: biscuits and gravy.

In British English, a biscuit is what Americans call a cookie or cracker—something crisp and often sweet.

A biscuit color is a pale tan or beige.

In ceramics, biscuit refers to pottery that has been fired once but not glazed.
