A biscuit in Canada is a biscuit - preferably buttermilk. They are flat and usually cut in half to make a mini-sandwich. Like for a mcmuffin style egg-on-muffin idea. Not to be confused with an English muffin, which is a usually sourdough biscuit full of air bubbles that toasts up deliciously.

Anyway.... Let's clear up "biscuits/cookies/scone/muffins/english muffins" (if we can lol)
