Scones

Wheat flour rounds lightly sweetened, bakery luxury keeping several days.

Scones are baked rounds of wheat flour, butter, and cream, lightly sweetened with honey and sometimes studded with dried fruit. A dozen scones fit in a small cloth sack and keep several days before hardening. Wealthy folk eat them warm with jam at breakfast; travelers crumble them into tea for softening. Bakers sell them by the dozen at market, favoring the affluent.
