Where Did the Scone Recipe Come From?

Scone History

Scones are one of the most famous traditional baked goods, originating from the Scottish Highlands centuries ago. Initially, they were made from oatmeal, butter, and a few additions, then baked slowly as a round piece before being divided into triangles and served.
However, with the invention of baking powder in the 18th century, scones became small, light, golden, and flaky pieces. Over time, these simple baked goods became associated with British tea traditions, where no tea session is complete without a plate of fresh scones served with jam and rich cream.

Orange isn’t just an ingredient; it’s the star of this recipe. Grated orange zest gives the scones that refreshing citrusy flavor, while orange juice adds a light and natural sweetness. The real secret here lies in the addition of cold Baker’s Choice, which gives the scones a crispy exterior and a soft and tender interior. Autumn spices like cinnamon and cloves turn every scone into a piece of happiness.
