    You start a thread, nurture it, give it advice and release it into the world . So long as it is happy, you're happy and then it finds its metier - what to bung on a scone. I am proud of it anyway. image

    It's a scone and a scon depending on where you are and who you're talking to. I think scon in may be posher but I'm not so I'm not entirely sure.

     But the cheese variety are definitely scons

    And then there's the Scottish one - a might crunchy I suspect.

    I love it when they go off piste,. I have the mind of a butterfly anyway. I watch at least 4TV programmes at a time. My garden is full of started jobs (  think positive - they're not unfinished)

    Scon here too, whether sweet or savoury.   I usually make savoury but occasionally do the jam and cream thing for Belgians and I tell them jam first and then cream on both halves or it just gets too messy.   

    Savoury scones are great as a cobbler topping for stews.

    Decades since I've eaten a Cornish pasty.  Haven't missed them.

    Good thread.

    It's always a scon down these parts! Don't all shout no at me at once, but l add a couple of teaspoons of Marmite into my cheese scone recipe, absolutely delicious.

    Cobblers, much better than dumplings and less gaff than pastry.
