    The History of Scones

    Some historical accounts maintain that the name scone originated from the Dutch word schoonbrot, which was eventually shortened to skone. Other historians say that the name comes from the Stone of Scone, also called the Stone of Destiny, which was used in the crowning of Scottish monarchs. The very fitting English translation of the word means beautiful bread.

    Scones originated in Scotland during the early 1500s. Scone lore goes that when Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, asked that some sweet bread be brought to her one day, scones were one of the pastries on her tray. She was so taken with their taste and texture that she began to have them served with her afternoon tea every day, thus the birth of the English high tea precisely at 4:00 PM. The tradition of serving tea and scones is still practiced in European countries today.

    The scone was originally made with oats, shaped into rounds about the size of an average dinner plate, then scored into wedges and baked on a griddle over an open fire. When yeast was introduced into baking and ovens were invented, scones became more of a biscuit-like pastry that wasn’t as hard and dry as the traditional scone. Today, scones are quick breads, made with typical baking ingredients - flour, sugar, butter, leavening, milk and eggs. The shape of the scone is a cook’s preference - the English still use the triangular shape, while Americans tend to use a round, biscuit shape.
