    Scones should be served with Jam and Clotted Cream, not with a savoury jus. A Biscuit is a crisp, baked product that you would probably miss-label as a "Cookie". A "Cookie" is soft, not crisp.

      I believe most people do it the other way, but there is no right or wrong way apparently. :-)

      Oh yes there is. In Devon (where I first lived in this country) it is cream first. In Cornwall (where my son lives) it is apparently jam first. I know which tastes better. ;)

        Here in Blighty we call them scones (rhymes with cones, not cons).

            southern biscuits are much lighter than scones.

                Cream first has more calories though, worth considering if watching your weight. :)

                  And if you do, where do you get it? I like B&G, and I usually get it from Arby's (They do a true Southern-Style B&G. Yum!) I've also heard good things about Hardees' B&G.

                  What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

                      When US and UK people discuss about good food, for me it is like I (web pgm noob) would suggest you the best way how to make an web app :laugh:

                          that's because your country doesn't know food.

                            And yet everything I've seen, heard or read about your country's cuisine suggests you value quantity over quality. ;P

                              THIS! Although their gravy used to be better. They've made it more mild than 30 years ago.

                                And despite many visits to the US I never managed to see B&G on a menu. Obviously my loss.

                                    it's mostly a breakfast thing, and probably harder to find outside the south (south-east, that is).

                                        I'm not going to argue with that. It seems that most low-viscosity food garnishes that contain cornstarch or flower as a thickening agent is called gravy even when they are clearly a sauce or a roux.

                                          Grew up in Texas and I can count on one hand places I've visited north of the Mason Dixon that make a good biscuit, not even getting into the gravy yet. So that said... I make it myself, same as my brisket. Seriously simple recipe and doesn't take that long to make. My recipe started with these two: Biscuits[^] Gravy[^] There is one place around where I live now that I trust but only if I'm desperate for a fix. Arby's and Hardees' are eh, although Chick-Fil-A biscuits are actually pretty decent. No gravy there though. Biggest problem is the wheat used is all wrong, needs to be a soft red winter wheat. Seriously, try a McDonald's biscuit in the south vs the north. They are quite different. Second common mistake is over-mixing the dough, so instead of fluffy they are hockey pucks. The gravy should not be healthy. I use lard or at the very least the drippings from whatever sausage I'm putting in. It is the same for my chicken fried steak gravy. Whole milk or if I'm feeling decadent I opt for heavy cream of half and half.
