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

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.

The UK and US needs to hold a summit to standardise the language.
In the UK's favour.

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

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.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
Think I could make a dozen+ scones and smash them all with jam and cream. So fucking good. Never had the American "biscuits" though.

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.

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

American scones taste good and are easy to make.
British scones are just biscuits I guess.

Seems easy enough to make at home.
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.

a delicious morning treat.
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
you forgot about Lunch and Dinner.
its like a biscuity muffiny thing, rather nice with a bit of milk i reckon

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.

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

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.

Where do you live because I want one.
Anything given away for free from starbucks is bound to be terrible.
And paying for it won't make it any better.
