Griddle Scones

"Scones were originally baked on a griddle. Although the dough must be softer and the scones thinner in order to cook through on the griddle, they are served from a basket with butter, jam, or confectioners sugar. They are very similar to pancakes but you may pick them up with your fingers and eat them. Sometimes I have them with soup as a bread."
