Scones can be sweet or savory, with popular variations including fruit scones with raisins or currants and cheese scones that are perfect for a savory snack. Traditionally, they are served with clotted cream and jam during afternoon tea.
These delightful treats are easy to make at home and are enjoyed by many around the world. Scones are typically shaped into rounds or triangles and baked until golden brown. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy afternoon snack with a cup of tea.
