I don't know if you can have a 'meaty' biscuit, but if you can , then this substantial peanut biscuit is it. I have been trying to recreate a peanut biscuit that I used to bake , pre TMX days. It tasted of roasted Peanuts and was light and crisp. This is not quite it. Never-the-less it is a very nice biscuit so i have decided to post it.
