The scone is a small British quick bread that is popular in North America also and can be sweet or savory. The early recipes were made with oats, prepared into a large round cake and baked on a cast iron griddle in an open hearth. To make it easily divide into portions, they were deeply scored before being baked.
A scone is a wonderful thing: buttery, soft yet firm with being very easy to make. They are a lot like biscuits but do tend to get hard once they are cold, probably because the dough is on the dry side. That’s OK though; just dunk them in a cup of coffee or tea!
This scone recipe includes lots of cheddar cheese, butter and chives. I think maybe even a little lemon zest would give them great additional flavor. One taste of these will tell you just how delicious they are!
