What is a scone because I have never heard of one?

Question

I went to my home church on tuesday to this thing called the food pantry where they bags of free food, sort of like salvation army. They 2 scones in it, and I have never heard of it, what is it?

Answer 1

It tastes a little like a biscut...  It's a lumpier, coarser dough, and can be savory or sweet (cheese, herbs ... or raisins, cinnamon, fruit).    They're not very sweet, and good for breakfast or with coffee or tea.  I really like fruit scones:)

Answer 2

A scone is a small cake or bun, somewhere between the two in taste.

Typically you heat it & put butter on it. They are inexpensive to make.

Answer 3

like a sweet biscuit. they usually have fruit in them, and may be flavored with cinnamon and sometimes iced or glazed

Answer 4

A scone is a Brtish thing, I think. It a cross between a bread roll and a cake. They often have sultanas in. Usually eaten in England with Jam and cream but you can make them with cheese so they are savory. Quite crumbly and have a flavour which is unusual because they have bicarbonate of soda in them.
