Scones are so delicious and the perfect pastry for a light morning breakfast. I enjoy serving them to my family with some fresh fruit. This recipe is delightful with the combination of orange, cranberries, cinnamon and cloves. These scones pair nicely with tea or coffee. Scones date back to the 1500's notably created by the Dutch. Most of us know scones to be from England. The story goes like this . . . over a thousand years ago the Earl of Devon stepped up to rebuild the abbey after it was destroyed by Vikings. The residents of the abbey made bread (scones) for the workers to repay them for helping to rebuild their community. They served the workers, scones, cream, jam and tea as a gesture of gratitude.
Today most Americans eat scones for breakfast. Throughout Europe you can find them in most tea houses served with afternoon tea.
Bon Appetit,
