SCONES

Visit The Healthy Living Bookshelf:

For a breakfast treat or with afternoon tea, serve warm scones with honey or marmalade.

These Scottish quick breads took their name from the Stone of Destiny, the legendary location in Scotland where kings were once crowned. The traditional version is made from oats, then shaped like a triangle and baked on a griddle. Modern scones are usually made with flour and baked in the oven.

Varieties

Scones are usually dry and sweet, sometimes savory, and may contain dried fruits, nuts, spices, and a variety of grains, including whole-grains and oats. They may be triangular, round, or square.

Buying and storing tips

Buy scones in bakeries, or in the bakery section of some natural food or specialty stores. Choose the whole-grain variety whenever possible. Store in a plastic bag at room temperature, and use within a couple of days.

Availability

Scones are available year-round.
