scone definition and meaning

What is "scone"?

A scone is a type of pastry that originated in Scotland and is now popular in many parts of the world. It is made from a simple dough of flour, butter, sugar, and milk, which is then shaped into small rounds and baked in the oven until golden brown. Scones have a crumbly texture and a slightly sweet taste, and are often served with butter, jam, or clotted cream. They can also be flavored with a variety of ingredients, such as raisins, cranberries, or chocolate chips, to create a more complex flavor. Scones are often enjoyed as a breakfast or brunch food, and are a popular addition to afternoon tea.
