The earliest place of origin is Portugal, which was introduced to Britain with the coming of the era of great navigation. It was first used by nobles and developed because of its popularity. Therefore, it is called English grape scone, also known as English waffle, cream bun and cream bun. It is an English snack with a taste between cake and fast bread and can be eaten as a light food or dessert.
Scones usually use wheat, barley or oatmeal as leavening agent, and are baked on a baking tray, and sometimes egg paste is used to wipe the egg liquid on the surface.
Scones are considered as the representative desserts of English afternoon tea culture, and often appear on the second floor of English afternoon tea tray with raisins or chestnuts. Innovative scones with sweet potato and cranberry flavors are also very popular in Taiwan Province.
