What is the difference between a scone and a biscuit?
assistant
A scone is a type of quick bread that originated in Scotland. It is made with a rich dough, similar to a biscuit, but it is baked on a griddle or skillet instead of in an oven. Scones are typically served with butter and jam or other toppings. Biscuits are small, flat cakes made from a simple dough. They are usually served with butter or gravy.
