What are scones made of? Are Scones Vegan? Let’s find out. In this post we will discuss the scones ingredients and see if they are vegan.
Scones are a type of rich, slightly savory pastry that is often served at breakfast, especially in Britain. The term “scone” in reference to a pastry, has been in use in Scotland since 1513. They are the most highly evolved in Scotland as well, suggesting that the food originates there.
Scones are usually made of either wheat or oatmeal with baking powder as a leavening agent. A scone is often slightly sweetened and occasionally glazed with egg wash.
Traditional English scones slightly resemble American biscuits, as both use a flaky, dense pastry, but scones tend to be a bit sweeter, and also incorporate ingredients like dried fruit.
Scones may be enriched by the addition of cream and eggs to the usual mixture of flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Some recipes call for mashed potatoes. Scones made of baking powder dough sometimes contain currants.

Are scones cakes or bread?
A scone is more like a biscuit in texture. It is made with a dough that is rolled or patted and cut. It has very little sugar, and could contain dried fruit. It has a crumbly consistancy when broken.
Scones are more bread-like than muffins or cakes because they have less sugar and fat (both holders of moisture).
They are mainly flour instead, like bread is, but unlike bread the scone is very tender/friable because the dough is not worked to develop gluten.
Gluten is necessary in yeast breads to capture the bubbles of gas produced by the yeast. In scones (and in cakes/muffins) chemical leaveners, usually baking powder, are used instead.
