It depends because there are British scones and American scones.  British scones are usually round and made with little butter and sugar. Raisins or currents may be added to the batter. American scones contain more butter and sugar and many times are made with fruits and nuts, and most times cut into wedges. Both are delicious, just a little different from each other. Even though they have most of the same ingredients, one thing for sure is a scone is not a biscuit. All scones should be a bit dense, slightly sweet, just a little flaky and crumbly. Biscuits should have flaky layers and be very tender and not dry. One is crumbly, and one is flaky. Both are yummy!
