About McDONALD'S, Biscuit, regular size
The word biscuit means two very different things depending on where you are. In the United States, a biscuit is a soft, fluffy quick bread leavened with baking powder or buttermilk, split open for sausage gravy, layered with butter and jam, or wrapped around fried chicken for a sandwich. Across the United Kingdom and much of the Commonwealth, the same word describes a crisp, sweet baked good closer to what Americans call a cookie or cracker, from digestives and shortbread to plain tea biscuits.
Both trace back to twice-baked breads made to travel and store well, which is where the name, from the Latin for twice cooked, comes from. American biscuits are best eaten warm within minutes of baking, while the crisp British style keeps for weeks in a sealed tin. Flour, fat, and a little liquid form the backbone of nearly every version, making the humble biscuit one of the most adaptable items in any baker's repertoire.
