I had forgotten that 'biscuit' means something different across the pond!
What I mean is a US mix also sometimes called 'pancake mix' or 'all purpose baking mix'. It contains flour, baking powder, a little oil, salt of course. A popular brand here is 'Bisquick'. If you just add water, you quickly get a decent, well-risen light bread product. Depending on how much water, it can make pancakes/flapjacks or fluffy dumplings or muffins or cake (if you add sweetening).
It sometimes has odd stuff in it, but I go ahead and use it for various purposes anyway. When I use it for something like Swedish egg pancakes, they come out too puffy and dry, but are dependable. Also it makes dependable tempura batter.
