A small, round baked good made from flour and butter, often served with tea and topped with jam and cream.
From Scottish 'scone,' possibly from Dutch 'schoonbroot' (fine bread) or named after Scone, a Scottish town. A distinctly British and Scottish baked good.
There's actually a heated debate in Britain about the 'correct' way to eat a scone—some split it and add jam first, others add cream first. This is so serious that regional preferences are known as the 'Great Scone Debate,' and people have actual opinions!
