Devon scone

A Devon scone is a traditional British baked good originating from the Devon region. It is a soft, slightly flaky bread-like treat, often round and thick, made from simple ingredients like flour, baking powder, butter, milk, and sometimes sugar. Unlike more cake-like scones, Devon scones are typically less sweet and have a dense, hearty texture. They are commonly enjoyed for breakfast or teatime, served split and topped with clotted cream, butter, or jam. The scone's simplicity and rich ingredients reflect its regional roots, making it a staple of British afternoon tea.
