Dublin fruit scones
Scones originated in Britain and Ireland. The Irish version is often made plain and traditionally served with tea. Scones are more of a bread than a cake, eaten split in half and spread with butter or jam, for example.
There are also sweeter versions and scones with dried fruit, like the ones I have made here.

Remarks
Scones dry out very quickly, so they are normally made fresh to be eaten straight away, preferably while still warm. They are much better like this than made in advance and kept.
For more traditional Irish plain scones, just make them without sugar or fruit.
