History and origin of scones
Scones are a type of traditional bread roll that has its roots in British cuisine, especially in Scotland and England. Originally, these simple rolls were prepared quickly with flour, butter, and milk or cream, and were served with tea. In Latin America, although there is no specific name for scones, they are usually known simply as "bread rolls" or "buns" and have begun to gain popularity thanks to the influence of international cuisine and Anglo-Saxon recipes that are increasingly shared in the region.
In different Latin American countries, although they do not have a direct translation, scones are adapted to local ingredients, integrating typical flavors to give them a unique touch. For example, in Mexico, you can find variants with spicy or sweet ingredients typical of the national cuisine.
These delicious rolls stand out for their soft and flaky texture, achieved thanks to the butter and leavening agents like baking powder. They are usually consumed for breakfast or snacks, accompanied by jams, honey, or cheeses, which makes them a versatile and highly appreciated dish in different culinary cultures.
