From the sound of bagpipes and Agatha Christie novels to the sound of bagpipes, the United Kingdom has taken over our senses for a long time now. It’s only natural that they also grab our gastronomy. The English breakfast and high tea have made their way across the pond to around the globe.
Scones make a grand entrance into the realm of breakfast and tea-time in Dhaka. These light, airy and moist cake-like biscuits have made an impression across the world. They are a Scottish staple because of their unaltered nature; there’s no excess gooey frosting, slathers of cream, filled with exuberant amounts of sugar and butter or dollops of chocolate. This very concept makes the scone, the grab-and-go choice for commuters of the Glasgow Central Station. The scone is your canvas; you’re the artist that adds the layers of decadence or simplicity.
The scone saga
Originally, small round yeast, the earliest recorded history of scones comes from the Welsh tradition. It comes from the word “schoonbrot” which means beautiful bread. These cakes were made from oats and were preferred because they could easily be stored. They were traditionally eaten for breakfast for tea. The Duchess of Bedford, Anna, requested sweet bread with her tea and it became afternoon tea accompaniment.
Scones became extremely popular because of their diversity. They can be baked as with currants, raisins or fruits to be eaten as a sweet treat. With time, scones have become more diverse with savoury varieties. These scones are made with potatoes, cheese, dill, cured meats and much more.Nibble with us
