A very thin dry cake that is baked and pottery that is baked but not glazed.<BR/>The readon that American and British have different meanings is that American English is known as 'colonial English' and the British 'Recieved English'.<BR/>Unfortunately or not for you Marilou your mother may have been pronouncing it correctly.<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10186986.post-1123076392319671852005-08-03T23:39:00.000+10:002005-08-03T23:39:00.000+10:00Ahh Justin, I agree.

The biscuits shall live on forever and the recipe shall be passed from my generation down hundreds of generations. <BR/><BR/>This is what bugs me about biscuits: B-I-S-C-U-I-T.

Now that I think of it, (now that you brought it up)the biscuit plural bugs me too. And yet I use it.<BR/><BR/>How about the "s'mores" vs. "shmores"? How do you guys say it? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the biscuit recipe. I'll post mine for buttermilk yeast biscuits--they're kind of a cross between yeast rolls and biscuits.
