Whether eaten with a slice of ham or sausage, with gravy or with butter and jam, biscuits are the favourite fast bread in many western societies. Fast food restaurants now serve cookies worldwide, but cookies are still more popular in the west where it is often referred to as a ‘cookie’.
The basic cookie recipe is simple. It requires flour, yeast or baking soda, salt, some type of fat, and milk or buttermilk. The cooking starts with the flour, sometimes sifting it with the yeast and salt, and mixing the oil in it, usually with a whisk or fork.
