I made scones do they pass the British baking test?

Scones are round, and thick, how are you going to get jam and cream in them?
They look like cookies or shortbread.

@Mindfulness That's the way my book said to make them... American can't expect too much...😜
@Justmeraeagain I'm sure they taste great, but...

@Mindfulness Biscuits ,yummy.
I going to try to make clotted cream some day
@Justmeraeagain no they're scones! 🤣🤣
Be sure to post your results here if you ever do.
I hope your version of scones tasted great, I do get the impression you're a great cook.

@Justmeraeagain Scones can be any shape. I tend to do savoury ones that shape and you don't have to faff around using the circular cutter.
Traditional scones for jam and cream are the round ones.
They all go down the same way!
@Mindfulness We call those biscuits here. And what you call “biscuits” we call “cookies”. 😃
Two countries, divided by a common language. 😉
@bijouxbroussard yeah, I'm aware of the vagaries, our crisps are your chips and our chips are your fries.

@Mindfulness
Your chips look delicious and I like malt vinegar,too.
But our fries aren't that great ,really.
Diner fries are good but fast food ones 🤢
@Mindfulness Lol, yes. And your Yorkshire pudding looks like our popovers:
Our pudding is what you folks call custard:
@Justmeraeagain proper chip shop chips, plenty of salt and vinegar.
We do tend to have gravy or curry sauce as well though!
@bijouxbroussard you're making me hungry now! 🤣

@Mindfulness My mother ate gravy on her fries sometimes
@Justmeraeagain I recently discovered poutine—fries with cheese curds and gravy. It was a revelation.
@Justmeraeagain lovely! It has to be done now and again, with pie and mushy peas!
@bijouxbroussard cheese curds?
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Mindfulness No mushy peas!🤢
@Justmeraeagain Fish and chips and mushy peas! 🤣🤣
