Have made Scones twice in previous years, but have forgotten how too make Scones . I looked up the Word Scones on the Internet and I came across a American Style of making Scones . The Scones are triangular in shape and their are sugar within the Scone dough and a sprinkling of sugar on top - once the raw Scone has been formed and then you cut it into 8 triangles before putting them individually onto a Baking Tray with Baking Parchment Paper underneath
