Yes, but a biscuit isn't quite bread. It is a quick bread--no yeast. I'm not sure what you'd call it in the UK. However, here's a recipe to give you an idea. (I'm afraid I don't know the metric measurements.)

2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
7-8 tbsp shortning
2/3-3/4 cup milk

preheat oven to 450
combine dry ingredients
cut in shortning (I use a pastry blender)
mix in milk until it forms a dough, adding more flour if necessary
roll out to about 3/4 of an inch thick
cut rounds
bake for 18 minutes
serve hot with butter and honey (yum!)
