Scone Recipes
"What is Scone?" --- definition by "the Pastry Chef's Companion"
A small, individual Scottish quick bread with a crispy, golden crust and soft, delicate interior. Scones were originally made from oats and baked on a griddle, but today they are flour based and baked in an oven. Usually triangular, but may also be round, square, or diamond shape. They may be sweet or savory, and are most commonly eaten as a breakfast item or served with afternoon tea with clotted cream and jam. The name is believed to be a reference to the Stone(Scone) of Destiny, where Scottish kings were frowned.
