biscuit

A biscuit is a flour-based baked food product. Outside North America, the biscuit is typically hard, flat, and unleavened, and what Americans call cookies; in North America it is typically a soft, leavened quick bread. 饼干是一种以面粉为基础的烘焙食品。在北美以外，这种饼干通常是坚硬、扁平、无酵的，美国人称之为饼干；在北美，它通常是一种软的、发酵的快速面包。

In Commonwealth and Irish English, a biscuit is a small baked product that would be called either a "cookie" or a "cracker" in the United States and most of English-speaking Canada. Biscuits in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, and Ireland are hard and may be savoury or sweet, such as chocolate biscuits, digestives, hobnobs, ginger nuts, rich tea, shortbread, bourbons, and custard creams. In Commonwealth nations and Ireland, the term "cookie" typically refers to only one type of biscuit (the sweeter baked dough typically containing chocolate chips or raisins); however, it may also locally refer to specific types of biscuits or breads.

In the United States and some parts of English Canada, a "biscuit" is a quick bread, somewhat similar to a scone, and usually unsweetened. Biscuits are usually referred to as either "baking powder biscuits" or "buttermilk biscuits" if buttermilk is used rather than milk as a liquid. A Southern regional variation using the term "beaten biscuit" (or in New England "sea biscuit") is closer to hardtack than soft dough biscuits. 在美国和加拿大部分地区，“饼干”是一种快速面包，有点像烤饼，通常不加糖。饼干通常被称为“发酵粉饼干”或“酪乳饼干”，如果使用酪乳而不是牛奶作为液体。南部地区的一种变体，使用“打过的饼干”（或在新英格兰的“海饼干”）比软面团饼干更接近硬饼干。

Cracker (food), is a type of biscuit, usually salted or savoury. A cracker is a flat, dry baked food typically made with flour. Flavorings or seasonings, such as salt, herbs, seeds, or cheese, may be added to the dough or sprinkled on top before baking. Crackers are often branded as a nutritious and convenient way to consume a staple food or cereal grain. In American English, the name "cracker" usually refers to savory or salty flat biscuits, whereas the term "cookie" is used for sweet items.

Ritz Crackers is a brand of snack cracker introduced by Nabisco in 1934. Outside the United States, the Ritz Cracker brand is made by a subsidiary of Mondelēz International. They are disc-shaped, lightly salted, and bear seven perforations and a finely scalloped edge. A single serving of the original cracker (about 5) provides 330 kilojoules (79 kilocalories) of food energy, 1 gram of protein, and 4 grams of fat [1克蛋白质，4克脂肪]; the whole wheat variety provides 290 kJ (70 kcal) and 2.5 grams of fat.
