Dry bland ass triangles of nothing. Need like a gallon of liquid to eat one

Barf.

(uk scones with clotted cream, jam, and earl grey is delicious)

 

[Macho Madness]

Those are just biscuits. Also, scones with honey butter are good, yeah.

 

[Yaboosh]

The ones my wife makes are amazing. The shit in coffee shops is awful.

 

[Jacob]

I love chocolate chip scones. I had one just the other day, in fact. So delicious.

I've had UK scones too and they're tasty as well, but despite the name they're a totally different baked good.

Where I live, this is what we call scones. Much better than the stuff in the OP. Sunday brunch staple, might have to get some later.

Yeah this is a fucking scone. I don't know what either of those things in the OP are.

 

[Davidion]

ITT I learn that when UK folks talk scones they're actually talking about biscuits.

 

[freenudemacusers]

If your scone is dry you fucked up in the kitchen or at the register.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

What's clotted cheese and earl grey?

 

[Gray Man]

I honest to god thought all scones looked like American scones... I had no idea...

 

[Suikoguy]

clotted cream sounds disgusting.
Probably good though

 

[Antiwhippy]

The UK and US needs to hold a summit to standardise the language.

In the UK's favour.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Nah man lazy American spelling is way better. 20% less u's gives us time to do other stuff.

And that's a fact.

 

[freenudemacusers]

You mean 'favor'. You redcoats and your u's.

^hi5

 

[Feran]

I kinda like the vanilla ones they have at Starbucks. But yeah they're pretty dry.

Ah, England. A country with such a proud and storied culinary tradition.

See, this lack of discipline is why america's youth is degenerating, education is falling, etc. etc.

More U's means more discipline.

From wikipedia:

In Utah, the bread products locally called "scones" are similar to Indian frybread and are made from a sweet yeast dough, with buttermilk and baking powder and/or soda added, and they are fried rather than baked. They are customarily served with butter and honey.​

Pretty much. That goes for any type of scone.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Think I could make a dozen+ scones and smash them all with jam and cream. So fucking good. Never had the American "biscuits" though.

 

[Antiwhippy]

What I don't get is the assertion that UK scones (the proper scones) aren't dry because they are dry as fuck, but the moisture come from the cream and jam which makes them delicious.

Thanks. That's what I get for doubting the internet.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

No seriously what the hell is clotted cream? Does someone bleed cream cheese or something?

We don't eat them with anything generally, and you can't dunk them in coffee or whatever because they just fall apart

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

American scones taste good and are easy to make.

British scones are just biscuits I guess.

 

[freenudemacusers]

It's spelled cloutted creaum you lazy American!

 

[abstract alien]

Clotted cream (sometimes called clouted cream or Devonshire cream) is a thick cream made by indirectly heating full-cream cow's milk using steam or a water bath and then leaving it in shallow pans to cool slowly. During this time, the cream content rises to the surface and forms 'clots' or 'clouts'. It forms an essential part of a cream tea.

Seems easy enough to make at home.

 

[squidyj]

Ah, England. A country with such a proud and storied culinary tradition.

To be fair they have tea-time down pretty well.

It's just thick cream. Delicious flavour.

Really? I can't eat them without some lubricant (cream) or something to wash it down.

 

[blame space]

what the fuck is a scone

 

[freenudemacusers]

a delicious morning treat.

 

[Big-E]

They made up a meal no one else follows to be number one at it. I give them credit for changing the game.

Part English, and enjoy some English things

Yup, that's a scone to me.

Tea in the north means dinner, what a country

Also had no idea about the Utah fry bread scones.!

 

[freenudemacusers]

That's just indulgent.

This is what pops into my head when I read scones in the title as well. They are so damn tasty with butter/honey or used to make Navajo Tacos. Damn you jonhsmith now you got me craving some right now. I will have to see if I can get my hands on some when I get up now.

Oh on a side note mind blown that what I thought were known as scones worldwide is just a local Utah name.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

OP have you ever actually had an American scone? I had one a while ago and besides the dumb name I liked it.

color, flavor, harbor, honor, humor, labor, neighbor, rumor

I made the thread because they were giving away scone samples at Starbucks. Although to be fair, all Starbucks pastries are terrible

Still it wasn't the first scone I've had and I can honestly say I've never enjoyed one.

 

[Clevinger]

It depends on the quality. The ones at a local bakery are pretty damn good with coffee.

Anything given away for free from starbucks is bound to be terrible.

Utah.


I wonder if there are enough Utahns on this board for a Sunday brunch meetup.

And paying for it won't make it any better.
