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.
