Simply Delicious Scones

Scones were invented by the Scottish, consumed heavily by the British, and largely ignored by the western world. Throughout the west, the scone has received a bit of a bad reputation. Mostly due to the fact that westerners who have ever tried a scone usually try the dry and packaged variety, scones are not entirely popular throughout North America. When prepared correctly, scones are light, airy, and filled with delicious flavours.

Our main mission is to bring you a site filled with wonderful scone recipes. Many of our scones are slightly sweet, and a variety of our scones are bursting with savoury flavours. If you’ve never tried to make homemade scones before, then you are truly missing out on something superb. We’re confident that once you’ve had a well-made scone, you’ll never skip over these delicious treats again.

Types of Scones

Scones tend to vary from area to area. While British scones are often sweetened, many other types of scones include savoury flavours. In most instances, British scones include:

Cheese
Dates
Cream
Currants
Raisins

Scottish scones (called “soda farls" or potato scones) usually look more like a latke than a scone. These cones are usually made from potato, and they are generally served with an average Scottish breakfast. Scones sold within the United States tend to be much drier than British or Scottish scones, and these scones include:

Cranberries
Blueberries
Nuts
Candy
Chocolate

Scones are also popular throughout Ireland, Scandinavian countries, Australia, Argentina, and in Canada. Each country tends to serve a different kind of scone, though all of the bets scones are light and filled with magnificent flavour. In most instances, scones are accompanied by some type of jam or lemon curd.
