Did you know?
Scones likely originated in Scotland, where they were once griddle-cooked rather than baked.
The word “scone” may derive from the Dutch word “schoonbrot” meaning fine bread.
In the UK, there’s a longstanding debate over whether to spread jam or clotted cream first.
Scones are a key part of cream tea, a beloved British afternoon tradition.
