My mother and both my grandmothers baked scones. I don't remember them
being sweet. They often put raisins or currants in them, and we add them
with butter and jam, or with whipped cream. I occasionally buy a scone in
coffee shops, but I find them terribly sweet, not at all like the scones
I grew up on.
