So, where did these biscuits come from, you ask? Well, it's a long story, but I'll give you the short version: they originated in the Southern United States, where they were cooked up in wood-fired ovens and served with a side of gravy (because, priorities). And, fun fact: the word "biscuit" comes from the Latin "bis coctus," meaning "twice-cooked," because, why not?
Fast forward to the present day, and biscuits are a staple in many a breakfast spread. They're the perfect pairing for your morning eggs, bacon, and sausage (or, you know, just eating them plain with a slab of butter – no judgments here). But, have you ever stopped to think about the English muffin counterpart?
