I intentionally didn’t say biscuit to stop that confusion and all it did was create a whole new level of confusion!
- A cookie is what the US calls any kind of non US biscuit, even though in the UK and the most of the world a cookie is a cookie.
- US Biscuits aren’t eaten the same way as a scone, usually with something savoury but the process is pretty similar (they’re both quick breads, as in no proofing needed).
- dunking your digestive is not an expression I’ll ever say to an American ever again as I do not want to think what they imagine I’m actually doing.
However in the interest of education I will name a very famous UK cake - a steamed pudding made with suet and dried fruit that is served with custard.
I give to you… Spotted Dick
And yes I’ve had it before.
Edit: Pudding is the name of a dessert, AND a term for dessert. But I’ve had that conversation here before!
