How it's used

Often served with clotted cream and jam, this item is a staple in local afternoon tea sets. While many cafes offer them, the texture is frequently adapted to suit local preferences for softer, less crumbly pastries. It is distinct from the American style biscuit which is typically savory.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the common local bakery item known simply as 鬆餅, which often refers to a muffin or a softer, sweeter bread product rather than the traditional dense, crumbly English scone.
