To me, a scone is a smallish disc (or can be cut roughly into squares) of flour/sugar/butter/milk, slightly sweet, to have with jam and cream - Devonshire tea - or with dried fruit, etc and just buttered. Can be savoury (say, cheesy) if made without sugar. I have tried pumpkin scones, but I don't think they were anywhere near as complicated (or yummy!) sounding as Ivy's - must try making them one day - thanks! Yes, we have wraps. We'll wrap anything! We wouldn't call them tortillas though, unless we're specifically having a Mexican style meal. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Yes I love scones with clotted cream and Strawberry jam but I can't get clotted cream anywhere in my small town.
