My wife was from Orkney and we spent a few months in the US. So we had US biscuits which are not the same as UK biscuits, US cookies which are not Orcadian cookies, West Country English buns which are definitely not US buns. Your (Yorkshire?) teacakes are almost but not exactly like my buns. You can imagine the confusion when the children asked for a cookie, a bun, or a biscuit while in the US.
