In my YouTube perusal, Can We Identify Every Biscuit/Cookie?! | Sorted Food

As an American, nearly everything on that table is a cookie or dessert bar. Shortbread and brownies are desert bars. The "water biscuit" is a cracker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_biscuit .
The biscuit of American cuisine doesn't exist in British cuisine. British Highschoolers Try Biscuits and Gravy for the First Time https://youtu.be/KzdbFnv4yWQ
If you don't have Bisquick (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisquick - American flour plus extras base - biscuits with it are 3 parts Bisquick to 1 part milk; bake at 230 °C for 10-13 minutes)...
1.5 cups (190g) flour, 2 teaspoons packing powder, 4 oz (115g) butter (possibly add salt depending on the saltiness of the butter), 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk. This recipe puts it at 200 °C for 15-20 minutes.
That's the only thing that is a biscuit in the US. There are some variations depending on what you add to it (Red Lobster's cheddar biscuits for example)... or buttermilk instead of whole milk, or sweet potatoes instead of flour (from a shortage of flour during the civil war).
