The recipe I've shared in this post is an American scone recipe. American scones are triangular in shape and are much denser than British scones. American scones are also often flavored or contain mix-ins, like fresh fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts. British scones are circular, and rise up taller and fluffier than American scones. If a British scones contains mix-ins, it's most often some form of dried fruit (like raisins / sultanas). British scones are also made with less butter and sugar, but are intentionally plainer in flavor so that jam and clotted cream can be spread on top before eating.
