What are scones?
Scones are a delightful cross between a biscuit and a pastry, known for their tender, crumbly texture and slightly sweet flavor. Traditionally hailing from the UK, these treats are often enjoyed with tea, but they’re just as perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack.
Scones come in a variety of flavors, from fruity to savory, but they all share that signature golden crust and soft, buttery inside. Whether drizzled with glaze, slathered with jam, or enjoyed plain, scones are a versatile, delicious bite of comfort!
