Scones for Breakfast, Brunch, Tea or Snack Time

Wikipedia defines a scone as "a small British quick bread (or cake if the recipe includes sugar) of Scottish origin. Scones are especially popular in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australis, New Zealand, Ireland, and the United States, but are eaten in many other countries. They are usually made of wheat, barley or oatmeal, with baking powder as a leavening agent."



Scones can be made in many different shapes including round, triangle like quadrants, or squares.

Traditionally these breads were made with currants, but they are now made with many different fruits and flavours.

Here follows a Recipe for a Basic Raspberry Scone which is both easy to make and delectable to eat!
