Are scones a colonial food?

Question

in my english class we can make a colonial food (since we are learning about puritans and things like that) for extra credit.

I wanted to make scones but I'm not sure if they are a colonial food,

are they?

Answer 1

I'll defer to Dan on this one, but I did find this site....tons of links to colonial recipes!

Answer 2

Scones are a Scottish food. The early colonists probably made them, as they are made with common ingredients and are easy to make. So, have at it. Good choice.

Answer 3

Here in the colonies, scones for morning tea are the law!
