Scones

Would you class scones as cakes or a bread. I would say bread but I am being told by the boss that they are cakes.

Prepped like bread with yeast

Home made scones are class. Full stop.

Scones are definitely bread.

I don't think anyone would be happy to celebrate their party with a birthday scone.

Its a basic bread mix. There's no way you could class them as a cake.

If you don't pronounce it sgone in my house you're getting fuk all but a dry piece.


And if you don't know what a piece is you're not getting that either.

You put yeast in scones?

Is OP using this thread as a survey reference for a future legal battle so scones are subject to less tax?

Well they can be turned into cake! http://www.taste.com.au/images/recipes/agt/2006/09/8274_l.jpg

I think I'm saying cake because they're a dessert rather than a dip them in soup type of thing!

Bread. Store bought scones taste like dry stale bread.

Yep?

barleybooley

I would say bread as scones are kneaded, aren't they? Don't know too many cakes that are kneaded. Biscuit or cake. Biscuit. No cake!

Buzz Meeks

If you cut a scone in half and put a jaffa CAKE plus a cadburys snack SANDWICHE bar
inside it and then if falls off a table in an empty forest - Does it make a sound ?

The ones that are gone in under two or three mouthfuls, cake.

Ones that you slice, bread.

kneemos

Lashings of butter and sugar in scones...mini cakes.

Magico Gonzalez

Neither bread nor cake.

I went threw good few recipes at work and not a single one needed yeast. Unless there is a type of scones that are made with yeast.

Its usually just flavour, sugar, sultanas, butter, baking powder ( some use soda bread), milk/cream and eggs.

There is a type yeah, you can google it. Thought it was standard

Ok. I never have

Don't they call them biscuits in The States when they fling a heap of sausage gravy on them?

Maybe a type, but your standard scones does not involve yeast. Then again, its food, you can mix up whatever you want in to it.

I class them as being in the hinterland between cake and bread with croissants, turnovers, Danish etc.

Depends on the scone, I make the Avoca recipe ones which have egg and butter in them so more a cake however basic soda bread mix with a few sultans are more bread.

I also make homemade lemon curd to go with the scones.

Señor Fancy Pants

You rich bastards and your scones!

I have to dip a slice of bread into the toilet, mould it into the shape of a sliotar and leave it to dry on the window sill overnight.

If I'm lucky, a snail will drag itself over it and leave a bit of flavour on it for me.

Well if you haven't then you haven't truly lived.

I've never heard of yeast in scones and I used to make a lot of scones

I'd class scones as bread. But butter jam and cream on scones :drool:

Princess Peach

Scone is a bread.

I'm going cold turkey on my addiction to cake, but have had a scone twice this week, cause it's not cake.

4 days cake free

You just can't bate a good scone.

Thankfully the scones they have in work are yock, otherwise I'd ate them all.

king size mars bar

I like scones, forget that , I love scones jam and cream o God I can see one now in front of me .............bump back down to earth runners on and out the door!

Ihatecuddles

Thanks to this thread I've been looking forward to a scone with cream and jam all day. So my husband went out after work and said he'd bring me back some but he brought me home a sh*tty rock hard scone from centra, nothing else.

Now I'm crying. Being pregnant is really sh*t sometimes.

The King of Moo

All my life I've been eating scones by spreading butter or jam on each side, then putting them back together and stretching my jaw around it.

I only discovered a few months ago that normal people eat each half separately.

If I discover that I've been eating sandwiches wrong I don't know what I'll do...

Bready cake!

According to Wiki it's a single serving cake or quick bread
"A scone is a single-serving cake or quick bread."
Hope this clears it up

They're neither. They're feckin' scones! On a separate note, you can have fruity scones or brown scones, so they can be sweet or savoury.

You don't use yeast to make scones. But that's not a good barometer anyway. Soda bread doesn't involved yeast.

I'd have to say they're more cake than bread myself as I see them as desserty fayre.
