Would you believe that the original scone differs from every aspect of today’s scones. The original Scone was unbaked, style was round and flat, made with unleavened oats and baked on a griddle & cut into quadrants when serving. It wasn’t until baking powder became readily available to the masses that scones began to be the oven-baked, well-leavened items we know & love today.
I bet you will all be glad to know that here at Hayfield Manor we have perfected the art of Scone Making!
