Scones are typically made from a mixture of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, and milk or cream. The ingredients are combined to form a dough, which is then shaped and baked until golden brown. Variations may include added ingredients like fruits, nuts, or Chocolate Chips for flavor. Scones are often enjoyed with clotted cream and jam, especially in British tea traditions.
To find out how many scones can be made with a 3 kg bag of flour, first convert 3 kg to grams, which equals 3000 grams. Since 500 grams of flour makes 16 scones, we can calculate the number of scones per gram: 16 scones / 500 grams = 0.032 scones per gram. Then, multiply 3000 grams by 0.032 scones per gram, resulting in 96 scones that can be made with a 3 kg bag of flour.
Scones are usually made without sugar.

To be frank, there really are no popular brands of outdoor scones at all. In fact, outdoor scones are best not when bought, but when made hand-made at home.
Scones are made from a shortbread crust variation. To make a dense yet crumbly pastry, you would need a generous amount of shortening.
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.

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.
Scones go stale quickly due to their high moisture content and the presence of fats, which can lead to rapid drying out and staling. Once baked, the starches in scones undergo retrogradation, causing them to lose moisture and become harder over time. Additionally, scones are typically not made with preservatives, which contributes to their shorter shelf life. To keep scones fresh longer, it's best to store them in an airtight container and consume them within a couple of days.
