Schottisches "Shortbread" Hobbit Scones | The Hobbit Second Breakfast. Scone (bread) Lexicology[edit] The pronunciation of the word within the United Kingdom varies. According to one academic study, two-thirds of the British population pronounce it /ˈskɒn/ with the preference rising to 99% in the Scottish population[citation needed]. This is also the pronunciation of Australians, Canadians and New Zealanders. Others, particularly inhabitants of the United States and Ireland, pronounce the word as /ˈskoʊn/. The pronunciation /ˈskʊn/ is also used, particularly in Ireland. The difference in pronunciation is alluded to in the poem which contains the lines: I asked the maid in dulcet tone To order me a buttered scone; The silly girl has been and gone And ordered me a buttered scone. Thus, scone may derive from the Middle Dutch schoonbrood (fine white bread), from schoon (pure, clean) and brood (bread),[2] and/or it may also derive from the Scots Gaelic term sgonn meaning a shapeless mass or large mouthful.

Der Ausdruck wird im Englischen in der Regel im Plural (Scones) gebraucht, obwohl man ein einzelnes dieser Gebäckstücke auch als Scone bezeichnet. Das ursprünglich eher flache Gebäck wird heute aus Weizen-, Gersten- oder Hafermehl und Backpulver als Treibmittel hergestellt. Vor der Erfindung des Backpulvers wurden Scones nicht im Backofen, sondern in einer Pfanne zubereitet und ähnelten eher Pfannkuchen. Die besondere Konsistenz der Scones entsteht durch die Zugabe von Eiern, süßer Sahne und die schnelle und vorsichtige Vermischung der Zutaten. Die weichen, krustenlosen Scones werden in Großbritannien und Irland warm mit Butter, Konfitüre oder Honig gegessen, zum Tee aber vor allem mit Clotted cream. Für den nichtbritischen Geschmack ein wenig gewöhnungsbedürftig, deshalb gibt es Scones kaum außerhalb des Inselreiches. Scones - Originalrezept von Rose Zutaten Zubereitung.
