The English Scone Meets The American Taste Buds

The scone originated in Britain and is a small quickbread biscuit made of wheat, barley or oatmeal. It is often lightly sweetened with sugar or the addition of fruits and other additions. While the American scone is very popular, it does have a few differences from the European style scone; the scones of the United States are generally larger, drier and sweeter than the European counterparts.

Scones in Europe and America are generally served with honey, jam or clotted cream. Scones are very popular for breakfast and quick snack during break. The increased popularity of scones over the recent years has increased their availability through online gourmet cookie companies. This is a major achievement for those that enjoy the taste of fresh scones but lack the time necessary to make them.

Online gourmet cookie companies like David’s Cookies, offers a variety of scones at a very reasonable price.
