scones
Clotted cream companions
Scones are small, lightly sweetened baked goods, typically round or wedge-shaped, served at breakfast or tea.
British scones are plain and often split to serve with clotted cream and jam.
American scones tend to be larger, richer, and may contain fruit, chocolate, or other additions.
The word rhymes with either "stones" or "cons" depending on region.
