Scones are a type of small bread traditionally associated with British cuisine, particularly popular in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Their origin dates back to Scotland, where they were consumed as a simple and quick-to-prepare food. In Latin America, although they do not have a single exact name, they are often known as "panecillos" or "bizcochos" in different countries, and in some places they are recognized for their similarity to the "bollitos" or "small cakes" that accompany snacks.
In Mexico and other countries, scones have gained popularity as an option for breakfast or a snack, incorporating local ingredients and adaptations to the Latin palate, such as the use of dried fruits or spices. The recipe for apple and raisin scones is a variant that combines the softness and sweetness of the apple with the texture and flavor of the raisins, adding a special and different touch to the traditional scone.
