Scone Thread
Why do people like scones? Is it a female thing? I've known more women to like scones than men. They are bland, and a bit dry. Almost flavorless.
I'd rather have a cookie. |

next time you're at starbucks, get a blueberry or chocolate chip scone with your coffee.

Put butter (real from-the-cow sort, not .... spread [eeewwwwwww ], and jam and a whopping great dod of clotted cream on your scone still slightly warm from the oven and then tell me it's "a bit dry, almost flavourless".

Bad scones are dry and tasteless.
Good scones are somewhat less dry and definitely flavorful. If you're not up to making them fully from scratch (it's not a big trick, really, just follow the directions), try the mixes from King Arthur Flour. Very yummy.

I have the most awesome scone recipe form my baking days. After eating one of these scones, you will never, ever be satisfied with scones again. I don't even bother with scones at large, after a while you can see that they won't taste good.
I will share the recipe with those who are interested.

I love scones! We have some great places here (including a place run by two ex-Brits; they make heavenly high tea stuff) but alas---we've no clotted cream anywhere---not even for ready money!

Nothing better with a nice cup of tea. There's a great recipe using lemonade for scones that my Aunt makes. They're the best ever. I think I've mentioned before about my inability to make good scones. I wish I could though. I love them.

Like "biscuit", "scone" has a different meaning in the US than it has elsewhere. Those things in the picture aren't scones, by my usage.

But do you agree that the things in the picture, whatever you call them, are dry and dense and nasty?

They look like crumbly biscuits to me, not particularly appealing. (Australian "biscuit" = USA "cookie". Australian "cookie" = involves chocolate chips, hash, or both )
