About Honey biscuit

Honey biscuits are sweet baked goods that originate from European and North American cuisines, often featured in traditional tea time or breakfast spreads. They are made with flour, butter, honey, and typically leavened with baking powder. Honey adds natural sweetness and a subtle floral flavor, while providing trace antioxidants. A single serving (about 70 grams) can contain approximately 250 calories, alongside carbohydrates, fats, and minimal protein. Honey biscuits generally lack significant vitamins or minerals but may partly benefit from honey's bioactive compounds depending on the recipe. While they are enjoyable in moderation, their high sugar and saturated fat content should be considered when calculating daily intake.
