Scone
The first recorded recipe for scones comes from Scotland in the 16th century. The original scone recipe was made with oats, flour, baking soda, currants, and buttermilk. The scones were then baked on a griddle over an open fire.
Today, scones are made with a variety of ingredients, including flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and milk. Fruit, nuts, and chocolate are often added to the dough for flavor. Scones are typically baked in a round shape and can be either soft or hard.
The word “scone” is derived from the Dutch word “schoonbrot,” which means “beautiful bread.” The first scones were probably brought to America by Scottish immigrants in the 18th century. In America, scones are often served with tea or coffee.
