We made both "sconewiches' and dessert scones with them. They were made just like pita pockets. The dessert scones had bananas and whipped cream with a little chocolate drizzle or strawberries and whipped cream. The sconewiches were just that: cut as pocket bread with lettuce lunchment tomato and cheese with lightly spread mayo and mustard on each side of the inside of the scone. My Grandmother was a cook from Scotland and her scones were baked, never fried. Just the same name for different bread items but delicious either way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063782070723986567.post-69597085309204762792012-07-24T12:35:49.237-06:002012-07-24T12:35:49.237-06:00I totally agree with your post, being an Idaho-rai...I totally agree with your post, being an Idaho-raised girl myself.

The local carnivals and festivals in this area call them fried dough but the local name for them is dough boys.
