While scones and biscuits are quick breads and share some similarities in their basic baking technique, they are different. Scones are often associated with a more indulgent and sweeter experience than traditional biscuits due to added sweeteners and flavorings. They have a crumbly and tender texture and may feature glazes or toppings. Biscuits are usually savory, made with simple ingredients like flour, baking powder, butter, and milk. Unlike a scone, biscuits usually are served as a side dish to complement a meal. Scones can be served as the main breakfast item or treat.
