Believed to have origins in Scones Scotland in the 1500s, the scone is a quick bread that is shaped into various forms such as squares, diamonds, and triangles, and then baked in the oven. Although scones were griddle-baked and made with oats in the past, today they are traditionally made with wheat flour, baking powder or soda, butter, milk, sugar, and eggs. They can be either savory or sweet, consumed for breakfast, or served with afternoon tea. Today, most English is plain, relying on the addition of jam, lemon curd, or honey for extra flavor, but there are also some exotic varieties with cranberries, nuts, chocolate bits, and dates.
