They're like scones. They have them with a (disgusting) white sauce called gravy.

Hi bluetimone97,

I've added your thread to the main one on American cookery terms as your question may help others.

While this is out, my son bought 2 sachets of Kool Aid, it states a cup of sugar and 2 quarts of water and ice, do they really mean a cup of sugar? :eek:

Have you got a good recipe for biscuits because I love them!

Sorry this is slightly off topic, but I noticed some references to Paula Deen in this thread and had never heard of her until I was planning my forthcoming trip to Georgia and SC. We will be visiting Savannah and there is a Paula Deen restaurant there called Lady and Sons.

On Trip Advisor, though it is not very highly rated http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g60814-d467259-Reviews-Lady_Sons-Savannah_Georgia.html. Would you go?

Yup! 1 cup! (although the US version of a cup isn't exactly the same as a UK one, but I'm unsure which is larger & which is smaller - BUT they are quite similar in size) HTH, SF
