EverydayCookedSweetened

A plain scone is a lightly sweetened British baked good characterized by its crumbly, buttery texture achieved through a traditional rubbing-in method of combining cold butter with flour. Though labeled 'plain,' it contains subtle sweetness and is typically served split and topped with clotted cream and jam as part of afternoon tea. Made primarily with wheat flour, these triangular or round pastries provide moderate calories from carbohydrates and fats while offering versatility for sweet or savory adaptations.
