Cornish scone

A Cornish scone is a traditional British baked good originating from Cornwall. It is a soft, crumbly bread-like pastry made from simple ingredients such as flour, baking powder, butter, milk or cream, and sometimes sugar. Typically round and flat, it can be split open and topped with clotted cream, jam, butter, or cheese. Cornish scones are enjoyed with tea and are a staple of the region’s cuisine. They differ from some other scones by their dense, slightly flaky texture and are often served warm, making them an iconic part of British culinary tradition.
