About Biscuit, wheat

In the American sense, a biscuit is a soft, flaky quick bread — leavened with baking powder, enriched with fat, and baked until tall and tender. A Southern-table staple served with butter, gravy, jam or tucked around breakfast fillings, the wheat version uses some whole-wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.

It is built from flour and fat, which makes it energy-dense at around 362 calories per 100 grams, mostly carbohydrate with a fair amount of fat from the butter or shortening. The wheat flour adds a little more fiber than a plain white biscuit, but it remains a rich bread rather than a light one.

Warm from the oven with a thin spread, a biscuit is a comforting treat. The butter and any gravy it's served with are where the calories really gather, so what goes on top matters as much as the biscuit itself.
