Scone

A quick bread, originating in Scotland, that is often served as a breakfast food or as a snack with a hot beverage. Traditional scones were made as a large griddle cake that was cut into individual biscuits providing a mildy sweet taste and rough texture similar to a shortcake or heavy bread. Scones are now baked in ovens as individual servings and can be made or purchased in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors.
