It must be different in Canada. I grew up in a household where scones
and biscuits where commonly baked and served. They are similar but
different. My English born grandmother made scones and biscuits. We
also had cookies and biscuits, and the latter were usually more crisp,
like Nice biscuits or Arrowroot or Sunwheat biscuits.
