[ummmm]

Cake..

[MarkRae]

If you're talking about the traditional scone, then it is strictly speaking what is known as quick bread. So it's bread...

technically they are soda breads because ofthe nature of the raising agent

[Brenden]

Delicious with jam and cornish cream.

How are you pronouncing 'Scone'........?

[MarkRae]

I pronounce it like it rhymes with John.

[Robinia]

Well they're usually with the bread in supermarkets but to me they're in the cake category.

[craft1948]

To rhyme with gone..............

[Kiki-frog]

to rhyme with 'gone'

[Mick-Talbot]

not scown jth ... scon to me

bread imo can be folded ;0)

[MarkRae]

Ever tried folding a baguette? Or an unsliced loaf?

[Kiki-frog]

Don't subscribe to the bread theory personally, but I suppose with jam and cream it is a bit like a sandwich

[Mick-Talbot]

answers for each of the three ... just as I thought.

[Barmaid]

You can fold a scone - if it's big enough!

[sherrardk]

You have to knead the mixture so I supposed that makes them bread.

[Mick-Talbot]

if you slice a baguette or a uncut loaf ...the slices can be folded Mark

ever sliced a scone and tried folding it ?
