biscuit

biscuit
Noun
pl: biscuits

The term carries a sharp regional divide in meaning. In British English, it refers to a crisp, sweet baked treat similar to a cookie. In American English, it describes a soft, leavened quick bread typically served savory with breakfast.

In specialized contexts, the word describes unglazed ceramics, referring to the matte, porous state of clay after its first firing. When used for pets, it implies a hard, processed treat designed for reward or dental health.
