Authentic English Raisin Sour Cream Scones

weighs approx 80gms per piece (Thaw & Serve)

A Scone (/skɒn/ or /skoʊn/) is a baked good, usually made of either wheat or oatmeal with baking powder as a leavening agent, and baked on sheet pans. A Scone is often lightly sweetened and occasionally glazed with egg wash. It differs from teacakes and other types of sweets that are made with yeast.

Scones are biscuit-like pastries or quick bread that are often rolled into round shapes and cut into quarters, then baked, sometimes on a griddle. Scones can be savoury or sweet and are usually eaten for breakfast, but are also served with tea and in coffeehouses.

Scones became popular and an essential part of the fashionable ritual of taking tea in England when Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788 – 1861), one late afternoon, ordered the servants to bring tea and some sweetbreads, which included Scones. She was so delighted by this, that she ordered it every afternoon and what now has become an English tradition is the “Afternoon Tea Time” (precisely at 4:00 p.m.). They are still served daily with the traditional clotted cream topping in Britain 🍇 😋👍🏻
