The closest thing is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scone.

I've had something (in the US) that was called a "scone", and it was rigid, which disqualifies it from being similar to a biscuit in my mind.

Is that generally true of scones?

The thing the US call scones is different from the thing the UK calls "scone".
