biscuits
Gravy's fluffy base
Biscuits is the plural of biscuit, a small baked bread product.
In American English, biscuits are soft, fluffy, and leavened—served with breakfast or as a side: biscuits and gravy, buttermilk biscuits.
In British English, biscuits are what Americans call cookies—crisp, sweet, and often dunked in tea.
The word also appears in figurative expressions: that takes the biscuit (British for something outrageous).
