My granny makes sweet scones with fruit and they are gorgeous. Unsalted butter, homemade strawberry jam, heavy whipped cream and afterwards you're left with your eyes rolling back in your head, drooling in ecstasy. She also makes a gorgeous fruit cake that has to count for 19 of your 5 a day and a cottage pie that can't be bettered.

I have the best granny.

No no, post a pun.

No need for jam or butter on a scone. My wife makes delicious ones with white chocolate chips and raspberries. Fresh out of the oven, these are absolute heaven.

Will a silly joke do?

How did the bad baker poison his budgies? He killed two birds with one scone.

BDI · 11-10-2019 04:44PM

The scone that the builder refuse,
Will always be the headcorner scone.

I love them especially when freshly baked! Ordinary and even gluten free ones are just as nice when freshly made! So tasty when adding a bit of cream and jam!

jiltloop · 11-10-2019 04:50PM

Why did the baker have smelly hands?

Because he kneaded a poo.

My local bakery burned down last night. Now the business is toast.

pawdee · 11-10-2019 04:59PM

Let him who is without sin cast the first scone.

pawdee · 11-10-2019 05:00PM

My jokes are horrendous. Sorry. I wouldn't mind but I'm scone cold sober.

Bobblehats · 11-10-2019 05:03PM

scone to the dogs.....crumble crumble........

AllForIt · 11-10-2019 05:04PM

I love them if they have sultanas, so so without.

Metroid diorteM · 11-10-2019 05:04PM

Yeah scones are crap.

The currant trend is for fruit ones. Am I a scone in thinking that?

BDI · 11-10-2019 05:08PM

I tried to buy a scone in Britain but couldn’t change my currant C.

pawdee · 11-10-2019 05:11PM

Ok. I'm knocking this on the head. Heading out for a muffin. Bye for now. Scone call us we'll call you.

You mean a fcuking Biscuit? :mad:

That's not a poxy scone. It's a BISCUIT. You can tell the difference from the lack of fruit or sugar and the fact that is essentially just flour water and heaps of butter and some salt. You know, a B I S C U I T. And not one of those fake british 'biscuits' either: you shove focking sausage, bacon, ham, smoked pork, jam if you want, more butter, etc. in between your biscuit halves to make a BISCUIT - but its like a "Sausage and Egg Biscuit" at that point, or a Chik Fil A Biscuit. Would you pour sausage gravy on top of a british biscuit? LIKE FCUK YOU WOULD. You don't slather gravy on a scone either my friend

A scone is denser than a biscuit, uses far less butter, and almost certainly has berries in it and is coated most often in granulated sugar. How do you mess that up with a biscuit? Utter madness. The shame of you.

It's OK, I don't like Brussels Sprouts.

Scones can be lovely, but it's rare to get a good one. The majority are crap. The best ones are freshly baked and small, whereas most available in shops are going for quantity over quality and are big stale monstrosities. The best scones I've ever had were fresh out of the oven in Causey Farm. The old Science canteen in UCD used to do a good scone around 20 years ago too. They're not something I'd ever buy nowadays as they're inevitably disappointing.

PhilOssophy · 11-10-2019 06:54PM

Sticks and scones may break my bones...

Rubberchikken · 11-10-2019 06:56PM

I hate scones too.

They make me tired

She's a keeper or she could be trying to kill you. Fatten you to death.

They're called biscuits in the US. They use them to soak up gravy etc...

Ooops, sorry I just scrolled up and saw Overheal has informed you already of your error. :P

What fresh hell is this?

You do not put sugar in scones. That's some kind of strange Britishism.

Flour, butter, buttermilk, fridge milk, and the tiniest bit of salt. Currants are always optional. That is how traditional Irish scones are made. Where are you going with your sugar? I can think of nothing more disgusting that sweet scones. Nothing.

barneygumble99 · 11-10-2019 07:46PM

Scones from Avoca are savage. Hape a cream and jam. Yum. My local cafe sometimes does lemon and poppyseed scones. Unreal!!!

I think he/she is getting their scones and rock buns mixed up. Clearly not as proficient in the scone area as much as they are with biscuits.

I don't like scones.
