I thought that is what we call a bun.

And the only scones I know are the ones made by Delia Smith. ;-)

Here's a picture of southern American biscuits:

I enjoy eating them with honey and butter.

Some biscuits are smoother than that.

Many Arabs who move to the United States call cookies "biscuits" [bɪskət] in their own language, but when they arrive here and see how we write the word, they start saying [bɪskəwɪt]. Then they're surprised when I tell them it should be pronounced [bɪskət] in English also.
