I know, this is really weird, but I needed this and wanted everyone to have it, so..... here you go.

Scones are biscuit-like pastries or quick breads that are often rolled into round shapes and cut into quarters, then baked, sometimes on a griddle. Scones can be sweet and are usually eaten for breakfast, but are also served with tea and with coffee.

Scones got their start as a Scottish quick bread. Originally made with oats and griddle-baked, today's version is more often made with flour and baked in the oven. As for the origin of the word "Skone", some say it comes from the Dutch word 'schoonbrot', which means beautiful bread, while others argue it comes from Stone of Destiny, where the Kings of Scotland were crowned. According to Webster's Dictionary, scones originated in Scotland in the early 1500s.

Scones became popular and an essential part of the fashionable ritual of taking tea in England when Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788 – 1861), one late afternoon, ordered the servants to bring tea and some sweet breads, which included scones. She was so delighted by this, that she ordered it every afternoon and what now has become an English tradition is the "Afternoon Tea Time" (precisely at 4:00 p.m.). They are still served daily with the traditional clotted cream topping in Britain. Scones are generally popular around the northeastern USA and Great Britain.

I hope you all enjoyed this, and this is mainly because I just baked scones and I was curious. Scones are pretty easy to bake, and if you add too much sugar it doesn't really affect the scones bread properties. Anyway, I hope tea time treats you well!
