You do know, of course, that is a picture of an US biscuit?

They sure look more like biscuits than scones. The non-cheese part of
the recipe is pretty close to what we make frequently and call the
results biscuits. When I make biscuits I cut them with biscuit cutters,
but when I make scones I cut the dough with a knife.

In the UK and Australia these are scones. They are cut with a round
scone cutter. Never twist the cutter when cutting or you will end up
with lop-sided scones.

Suffolk Rusks are unsweetened, split and then re-baked.

Those are the precise instructions I see in biscuit making.
Don't twist the cutter, you'll seal the layers and they won't
rise correctly.

This morning I had cornbread muffins, neatly bypassing any such controversy. They was good.
