It depends where you get them. My mother and my grandmothers often made
scones. I have made them a few times. They are great when they are fresh,
but have a short shelf life. I have bought them in a few coffee shops and
found them way sweeter than I am used to. We used to have them with
butter, or butter and jam, either strawberry or black currant.
