Nothing is called a ‘bisquit’ in the UK!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscuit
A biscuit is the generic term; thick slightly soft sweet biscuits with choc chips etc might be termed ‘cookies’ nowadays; the square savory biscuits as in the picture are ‘cream crackers’ - crackers are for eating with cheese hence my initial comment.
No text tampering, hippogriff.
The use of the term ‘biscuit’ for a scone-like entity is a purely American piece of terminology at odds with the rest of the world and logical etymology ;-)
