Scones are often deemed the UK version of the US biscuit, but that isn’t entirely the case. US biscuits tend to be lighter and flakier, while the traditional scone is a lot denser and usually leans toward the sweeter side of the tracks.
It’s easy to picture a jam and cream scone sitting alongside a nice cup of tea, ready to be enjoyed in the afternoon. But, seriously, we all know that scones come in all shapes and sizes and can be souped up with all kinds of fun ingredients.
Autumn brings with it lots of lovely flavors, such as pumpkin spice, apples and walnuts, maple syrup, pecans, and cinnamon, and all of these seem to pair beautifully with the humble scone. So, whether it’s scone as in gone or scone as in tone, get your autumnal ideas flowing with these great OGP recipes for a fall treat.
