In very general terms they are European in origin. Originally it is thought that scones were cooked on a griddle or a girdlestone (a bake stone ) heated over an open fire. Such a cooking method was common throughout Europe. In Ireland, Wales and Scotland griddle bread and scones are still cooked in this way from time to time. The Ancient Romans cooked bread in this way on the "focus" their name for the hearth and this gives the origin of focaccia the flat bread many of us enjoy today.

Why do Irish people eat scones?

I'm speculating here but as I made some scones last night I couldn't 't help but wonder if there is an economic component to the importance of these scones to the Irish. When you look at the simple and inexpensive ingredients, might the buttermilk scones have come to be a staple in the diet during the famine? My great-grandmother, Kitty Boyd, made the best buttermilk scones the world has ever seen and I suspect her family was among those who were affected by the potato shortages.
