You literally just made up the part about the scone having to be small, or someone had misinformed you. Baking competitions have measurements for these things and both halves of a 'perfect scone' would not fit classily into your mouth. If a scone is flat enough to do that then you've either cut it too small in diameter (tbf, Night Fury makes mini scones like that and they are smurfing delicious) or it hasn't risen enough in the baking process, meaning it'll be unusually dense.
Don't smurf with someone whose girlfriend makes him watch that much Great British/Australian Bake Off.
Yes. This is correct. Those photos are biscuits. Not the kind you say are biscuits which are actually cookies, but real biscuits. Murca biscuits.
I definitely read this like "frown" and am judging you, even though you clarified yourself later.
You just get better and better, don't you?
A scone is totally different than a biscuit and the thing in those photos is a biscuit.
Also, I am a biscuit girl all the way down to my toes. Don't try to tell me a biscuit is a scone. I will declare war on you. I have some infantry. They're toddlers. They will destroy you.
Signature by rubah. I think.
I had a 'biscuit' when I was in America a few times and it really tasted dry, dense and horrible. So if I had to guess the difference between the two: A scone is crumbly, delicious and satisfying, and a biscuit turns into some horrible mushy glue like substance that sticks to the roof of your mouth.
If I recall correctly, you didn't spend much time in the southeast. So you don't know trout about biscuits, bes' fran. I'm ashamed of you.
I will make you a delicious, fluffy, butter biscuit and you will take them to your home country. Biscuits will rule the world. It will be glorious. All hail the biscuit overlord.

how does it feel having your sconesy ass handed to you by an Australian steven
Well when it comes to food I'm always willing to have my mind changed. Just promise that if I still don't like them you won't go 'full southerner' and hang me up by my britches or make me compete in a rodeo >.>
I hate to say it dear but I think I was kinda agreeing with Steve more than anything. I know, I hate myself right now, too u_u
What is happening in this world!
If it helps, I don't know what the smurf he was on about with the toilet paper thing. Assumedly he eats scones while taking a dump or something? :/
I had a huge scone last week with blackcurrant jam and clotted cream. It was the bomb. It was part of an afternoon tea tier selection. I could have just eaten a few of these bad boys.
I put the jam on, then the cream on top and it gets a little messy but oh so gooooooood.
Sir, I think that you misapprehend me! I didn't mean to say that you should have to fit all of the scone into your mouth at once.
Rather, I meant to convey that it should be of such thickness that one can take a whole bite of it at once. I'm not sure that explanation is any better, but it's the best I can manage without an accompanying demonstration.
Just to clarify, I don't mean to make this into a big THING. Everyone can eat their own scones however they choose.
I get what you're saying. A scone shouldn't be that thin though was my point, if it's that thin then it's either smaller in diameter than a regular scone or it hasn't risen properly and is going to be very dense.
And I DID mean to make this into a big thing
I think that this is detracting from the central issue, which is the VITALLY important question of "own" vs "gone".
Pick a side, Pheesh!
I'm waiting to see if Loony BoB has some really weird argument to make about the whole naming thing before I pick a side.
No doubt he's going to come in here batting for the 'rhymes with clown' side.
