A biscuit is a baked and formed food item made of flour. It can be created with sugar, chocolate, frosting, jam, ginger, or cinnamon and is often sweet. Like crackers, it can also be savory. Crackers, hard sweet biscuits, short dough biscuits, and cookies (including filled cookies) are the four general kinds of biscuits, which are defined by their recipes and biscuit-baking techniques. The main advantage of eating biscuits is the quick energy they offer because of their high-calorie content.
