Scones are a type bagel that is consumed in all English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and the United States. However, the original recipe seems to come from Scotland, where they were invented around 1500. In 1840 the Duchess of Bedford popularized them by serving them to their guests during the five o'clock tea and from that moment they became world famous. The preparation of the scones with olive oil gives them a very special taste while making them much healthier.
