What is Butter biscuit?
A butter biscuit is a sweet, baked biscuit typically made with flour, butter and sugar. It is sold packaged as well as made at home, and its simple, sturdy form makes it an easy snack to keep on hand.
Usually crisp at the edges and tender or crumbly inside, it is enjoyed with tea or coffee, or eaten on its own as a small treat. In places where tea biscuits are a familiar staple, it is often served alongside a hot drink. Butter biscuits are mainly a source of carbohydrates and fat, with relatively little fibre or protein. Pair one or two with fruit for a more rounded snack.

Frequently Asked Questions About Butter biscuit
Are butter biscuits the same as shortbread?
No, they are related but not identical. Shortbread traditionally has a simple, rich mixture of butter, sugar, and flour, while butter biscuits may include ingredients such as eggs or raising agents and often have a lighter, crisper texture.
Why do butter biscuits spread in the oven?
Butter biscuits spread when the dough is too warm, the butter is overly soft, or the flour-to-fat balance is off. Chill shaped biscuits before baking and use a properly preheated oven to help them keep their shape.
Can you use butter biscuits for a cheesecake crust?
Yes, crushed butter biscuits make a suitable cheesecake base. Mix the crumbs with melted butter, press them firmly into the tin, and chill or bake the crust according to your cheesecake recipe before adding the filling.
Why are my butter biscuits hard instead of crisp?
Butter biscuits often turn hard when they are overbaked or the dough contains too much flour. Remove them when the edges are just turning golden; they may still feel soft while hot and become crisp as they cool.
What is the best way to store butter biscuits?
Store butter biscuits in an airtight container after they have cooled completely. Keep the container in a cool, dry cupboard; exposure to humid air can make the biscuits lose their crisp texture.
Can you freeze butter biscuits?
Yes, baked butter biscuits can be frozen in a tightly sealed, freezer-safe container. Let them thaw while still covered, then allow them to come to room temperature before serving so condensation is less likely to soften them.
Can you make butter biscuits without eggs?
Yes, many butter biscuit recipes contain no eggs. Choose a recipe designed to work without them rather than simply removing eggs from a recipe, since they can help bind the dough and affect its texture.
How do you keep butter biscuits from crumbling?
Use the measured amount of butter and flour, and mix the dough just until it holds together. Let the baked butter biscuits cool on the tray before moving them, since they are fragile while warm.
What can you serve with butter biscuits besides tea?
Butter biscuits pair well with coffee, milk, or fruit and can be served with ice cream or a creamy dessert. Their mild buttery flavour also makes them useful as a crunchy layer in trifles and other layered desserts.
Can butter biscuits be eaten for breakfast?
Yes, butter biscuits can be part of breakfast, though they are usually more filling when paired with something such as yogurt, fruit, or an egg. They are also commonly eaten as a quick accompaniment to morning tea or coffee.
