We do scones here. They're much like a baking powder biscuit. Never seen
them with cheese but have seen them with raisins, blueberries, cranberries
and even pumpkin. In this area the big deal are these scones you can get
only at the fair. They have jelly inside. I couldn't see what the big deal
was. I tried one once. Not bad but certainly not spectacular and nothing
I'd want to wait in a long line for, like I did. I can only presume that
the people who think they are wonderful never made scones at home. I
learned to cook at an early age and often made scones and popovers for
breakfast.
