As time went on, scones evolved and became a popular treat in England, particularly in the afternoon when they were served with tea and jam. The English added their own twist to the recipe, using flour, sugar, and cream to create a lighter, fluffier scone. And let's not forget the Devonshire cream and jam - a match made in heaven!
The British love affair with scones continued to grow, and soon they were being served at afternoon tea parties and social gatherings. The scone became a symbol of British culture and was often served with clotted cream and jam - a tradition that still lives on today. And have you ever tried a cream tea - it's a must-try experience!
