What is a scone?

A scone is a baked good, usually made of either wheat or oatmeal with baking powder as a leavening agent, and baked on sheet pans.
I grew up in New Zealand and loved cheese scones. A scone can often be slightly sweetened with added fruits such as sultanas, dates, currants or raisins.

What’s the difference between an American biscuit and a scone?

Biscuits as they’re known in America are just the same as our scones!

A comparison of the classic Aussie scone recipe with an American Biscuits recipe is all it takes to verify that they are indeed made the same way.
Just used for different purposes.
For example: The Aussie and NZ Lemonade Scones are slightly more different because they are a touch sweeter than classic scones.

Tips for making scones

1. Pre-heat your oven.
2. Line your baking tray.
3. Don’t over mix the scone dough, just gently mix so the wet ingredients are incorporated.
4. Work quickly.
5. Flour your worktop and the cutter or glass you are using to cut the scones. re-flour the cutter or glass between scones.
6. Try not to twist the cutter or glass when removing from the scone dough as it can prevent rise or give an uneven rise.
7. Brush the top of the scones lightly with milk (whichever milk you have in your fridge) for a golden finish.
8. Once baked, cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a baking rack to continue cooling.
