The Mezzanine

Real scones, of course, are a light, fluffy, soft pastry deep fried until golden brown. They are an ideal base or serving beans, stew, or ice cream. Also, they are delicious to eat plain or with a touch of honey. They were invented by Native Americans in the western states a century ago. Sometimes they are called frybread, especially by the Native Americans.

The English (Scotch?) kind are perfectly adequate for tea, but they bear little resemblance to real scones other than being made from wheat.
