The scone is a basic component of the cream tea or Devonshire tea.
The griddle scone is a variety of scone which is fried rather than baked. In the Scots language, a griddle is referred to as a "girdle". Therefore "griddle scones" are known as "girdle scones". This usage is also common in New Zealand where scones, of all varieties, form an important part of the traditional cuisine. In some US states in the Mountain West region, especially Utah and Idaho, a "scone" commonly refers to a deep fried flattened bread which serves as the basis for "Navajo" tacos and is commonly consumed by itself with honey butter. It is similar to frybread or sopaipilla. Other common terms include dropped scone, or drop scone, after the method of dropping the batter onto the griddle or frying pan to cook it.
Scones are quite popular in Argentina (brought by Irish and English immigrants and from Welsh immigrants in Patagonia ).
Scones are popular in Ireland as well as England and Scotland, and were chosen as the Republic of Ireland representative for Café Europe during the Austrian Presidency of the European Union in 2006 (the United Kingdom chose shortbread).
