This scottish quick bread is said
to have taken its name from the
stone of destiny (or scone), the
place where scottish kings were
once crowned. the original
triangular-shaped scone was made
with oats and griddle-baked.
today's versions are more often
flour-based and baked in the oven.
they come in various shapes and
flavor variations. these soft and
light scones are easy to make and
so delicious, having a wonderful
blend of berry flavors! nothing is
nicer than a scone just out of the
oven with your favorite jam or
marmalade along with some cream or
a big dollop of whipped cream, or
simply with salted butter. mmmm. ..
this has been an impressive winner
each time i've served it-one of my
personal favorites!
