Scones are also sold in the US without raisins and called biscuits for some strange reason. Like American muffins aren't real muffins either - they're a small cake or bun type thingy as you so rightly say.
fuckin scones......... I actually love them! Have had all different types. Places like, oh lets say UTAH, have what they call scones but is really Indian Fry Bread. Where they got the idea to call them scones no one will ever know, but they are pretty damn yummie! :-)

My those are lovely scones! Can you send one over to the U.S.?
What's the difference between a scone and a muffin?
Those looked delicious!
It sertainly beats the dry bread I'm nibbling right now..
By the way, that is one pair of lovely elf-pants you've got! :D
Melanie - I tell you what, if you win the elf shorts, I'll wrap a scone up with them. ;)
nypinta - oh for god's sake! A muffin is a bun! A scone... is... not. Alright? Uhm....
ragnvald - Oh yes. We have to dress up for our scones in the UK.
More importantly - how do you pronounce it?
"Scon" or "Scoan"?
Scon
But how you Californians are going to deal with that is another matter.
Yeah, definitely scon. My Granny used to say scone and it drove me nuts!

I have to ask, were the cat biscuits his special secret ingredient?

frally - lol, I woudn't put it past him!
nypinta - good, glad we've cleared that up then. ;)
chris - there are jabazillions of scone varieties, so why anyone would want to add some imposter to the scone fold I have no idea. :)
