When I visited London, I ran out of time to experience a proper tea. And, I really only recall being served scones at one breakfast, which is not even when Brits typically enjoy them. They are most often served with tea.
Flavor-wise, British scones would be similar to American biscuits. Now in America, most bakeries offer scones; however, they have become more of a sweet dessert option. You can even find them at Starbucks!
Savory Flavor Options
- Ham, bacon, chives, rosemary, green onion, honey-butter...
Scones are easy & fun to make! They are a terrific side dish for lunch, dinner, or even brunch! You can even serve with tea. Pinkies up!
♦ Use frozen, finely grated butter.
♦ Touch the dough as little as possible. You want the dough to just come together.
♦ Don't overwork the dough. (see above)
♦ Heavy cream is best- but, buttermilk, milk, and even non-dairy milk works as well.
♦ Gluten free dough will be a bit stickier. That's ok. Do not add extra flour.
♦ Refrigerate or freeze dough before baking. This helps to keep them from spreading. It also makes gluten free dough easier to work with.
Location, location, location. Well...that is partly true. Scones are made from heavy cream and eggs. Biscuits use butter and buttermilk. The texture is also different. Scones are a bit dry and crumbly.
British scones are most similar to American biscuits, though they are not the same. Now, you can find scones in most American bakeries. These are made similarly to the British counterparts; however, American versions are often sweet.
It's difficult to say. Really, it comes down to the ingredients used and the quantities of each. Typically, muffins are sweeter than true British scones; however, American scones are often sweet too.
