Word origin

The origin of scones can be traced back to Scotland, where they were first made as a type of unleavened bread cooked on a griddle. Over time, the recipe evolved to include baking powder and other ingredients, resulting in the scones we know today. Scones became popular in England during the 19th century and have since become a staple of British and Scottish cuisine, often enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee.
