Monoscuit or Uniscuit (similar to “biscuit” and “Triscuit”)

“Biscuit” and “Triscuit” exist, but there is no “uniscuit” (or “monoscuit”). “Quadscuit” (or “Quadriscuit”) has been suggested to follow Triscuit.

Wikipedia: Biscuit
A biscuit is a flour-based baked and shaped food product. In most countries biscuits are typically hard, flat, and unleavened. They are usually sweet and may be made with sugar, chocolate, icing, jam, ginger, or cinnamon. They can also be savoury, similar to crackers. Biscuit may also refer to hard flour-based baked animal feed, as with dog biscuit.
 
In most of North America, nearly all hard sweet biscuits are called “cookies”, while the term “biscuit” is used for a soft, leavened quick bread similar to a scone - see biscuit (bread).
 
Wikipedia: Triscuit
Triscuit is a brand name of snack crackers, which take the form of square baked whole wheat wafers. They were invented in 1900, a patent was granted in 1902, and the Shredded Wheat Company in Niagara Falls, New York, began production the next year.

Did some research. Biscuit comes from the French for “twice cooked” which means any bread is a uniscuit.  Enjoy one today.

I bet there is a factory where Monoscuits are combined into pairs (Biscuits) and threes (Triscuits), before being released to the general public. And Monoscuits taste TERRIBLE before they are combined! This is why nobody has ever heard of Monoscuits.

It’s for the best. The uniscuit will lead to the halfscuit, the fourthscuit, and on and on until they split the atomiscuit.

“Biscuit” means “twice cooked” (“biscotti” is the same but in Italian) and “triscuit” means “thrice cooked” so a monoscuit is just… a cookie. https://twitter.com/TenderBeefsteak/status/981206094981804032

Bis(as you guessed) means twice
Cuits comes from a Latin verb meaning “to cook”
So a biscuit is twice cooked.
The word for once would probably be semel, or sem
That means we’d be after semescuits and those sound oddly not edible
