It is also the answer to the following question : "What's hard and dry when it gets in and soft and wet when it gets out ?"

English people? Not this one. I never called anything a cookie until i moved to this linguistically-confused land.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Biscuits must be sweet-with SAO biscuits being the only exception.....(hmmmm, just waiting for the exceptions to the rule to come in now).

I have no idea what SAO biscuits are, but a quick google search indicates they re like cookies. I am talking about good old southern biscuits.

No worries, I had no idea at the time either.

This looks more like a scone (I think there's a discussion here about those, I'm sure Jim'll find it!).

Pursue "the gay Sally Lunn" -- baked by an all-lesbian bakery. Just the thing for high tea. Not at all a biscuit, but baked goods, so work with me here...

Is there a low tea? Do you have to go to the East End to find it, somewhere within the sound of Bow Bells?

Sally Lunn. Possibly. There is illuminating discussion sketching out the Sally Lunn Problem.

Another Sally Lunn

Somewhere (like the second recipe, sort of) one may find the serving suggestion of dishing it up with whipped cream, as in its cakey form it is somewhat dry, moderately sweet, and needs all the moistening the whipped cream on top could give it. They'd probably serve it with sliced strawberries and kiwis around here.
