What’s The Difference Between a Biscuit and a Scone?
Biscuits and scones may look alike at first glance, but they’re actually quite different once you dig in. Biscuits, especially the kind we know and love in the U.S., are all about lightness and flakiness. They tend to be buttery, barely sweet (if at all), and often served as a savory sidekick to breakfast or dinner.
Scones, on the other hand, are more of a crumbly, slightly dense treat. They’re usually sweeter, sometimes enriched with eggs, and often studded with goodies like dried fruits or chocolate chips. If you think of biscuits as a no-fuss, comforting staple and scones as a slightly fancier, tea-time indulgence, you won’t be too far off.
Carrot Biscuits
These carrot biscuits are as if a scone and a biscuit had a baby. Slightly sweet, incredibly addicting and the perfect side dish to any meal.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup quick oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cold butter, grated
- ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (white or apple cider)
- 1 cup grated carrots
- ¼ cup walnuts, chopped
- Lemon Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with avocado oil spray or line with parchment.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the grated butter into the dry ingredients and stir to coat. It’s okay if there are small butter pieces—that adds flakiness!
In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vinegar, then stir in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts.
Mix wet into dry just until combined. Don’t overmix—lumpy batter = tender scones.
Using a 1/3 cup scoop, drop 10 mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Cool completely on a wire rack before glazing.
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle lightly over each scone.

If you are new here, welcome to My Bizzy Kitchen! I started this blog 16 years ago to document my recipes and daily life, never imagining it would one day become my full-time career. After losing my husband nearly 10 years ago, I navigated the hardest chapter of my life while still finding joy in cooking and sharing my journey.
In December 2020, I took a leap of faith and left my 30-year career as a legal secretary to pursue My Bizzy Kitchen full-time—a decision that changed my life.
Two years later, in October 2022, I was able to hire my daughter, Hannah, full-time, which brings me so much joy. Now, My Bizzy Kitchen is more than just recipes—it’s about embracing life, finding balance, and making healthy living sustainable and fun.
