In your opinion, should Scones be treated as bread and therefore used as sandwiches or should they be treated as cakes?
>>20702890yes
>>20702890depends if there's sugar. if they have sugar, they are a pastry and should be dressed and eaten as such. if they don't have sugar, they're american biscuits and can be used for sandwiches and savory dishes.
>>20702890those are biscuits
>>20702890>Americans use scones as sandwich breadwhat the fuck
>>20702890Proper scones are unsweetened so they are bread not cake.
>>20702890Two things.First, I heard that scones are pronounced "scawns", is this true?Second, how do these differ from southern style buttermilk biscuits? I hear they are the same thing.
>>20703066They're pronounced "scuns"Scones aren't made with buttermilk or butter, they're dry as fuck and damned near tasteless which is why the bongs have to glob on a cupful of clotted cream and another half cupful of jam.
>>20702890They're biscuits
>>20703204whelp that settles it then. scuns are dead to me. butchry fatty steamy biscuits 4 life
>>20702890Bread has more gluten. It doesn't really break apart unless it's dried out/the starch recrystalizes so the bread is rock hard. Scones/drop biscuits/biscuit-like-cookies tend to break apart easily and don't fold their dough. On the other hand, the layered, soft, fully Pilsbury biscuits are a little more bread like (a least in an individual layer). Bread and pizza dough have a lot of gluten formation. The layered biscuits form some gluten after you fold the dough a couple of times. Cake or brownie batter is very liquidy, not much folding involved or resting. Croissants are folded but have a ton of butter in their layers, and are folded in fun ways.I feel scones and biscuits have a real place on their own, and don't need to be treated as either a bread or cake, much like how a bear isn't a cat or a dog, though distantly related. In your pic, I'd call it a circular cut, low-folded scone/biscuit. Closer to bread than cake imo
>>20703044we don't have scones in America, we has biscuits. They are not the same
theyre deserts
>>20703277Maybe the Angloids I've met are retarded but they treated it like bread, serving it butter and salmon. idk
The only scones I make are pinwheels. So they're loaded with cheese, onion, Marmite, bacon etc.
>>20703250The bear is the tiger of dogs
I'd classify scones as a cake, whenever Bonglanders have cream tea they'll have tea and scones then some sort of small sandwich as a savoury option
>>20703274this is the foundation of bickie and grickie
