Mandys sweet scones/biscuits. Biscuits and scones might look a lot alike — tall, flaky, golden brown. They're both made from a blend of flour, a leavening agent, fat, and a liquid. And they're frequently eaten at the same time of day, as a breakfast or brunch treat best served with some arrangement of jam, butter, or cream. Lu Ann, it is interesting how two things with nearly identical ingredients can be so different. I don't really knead either my biscuits or my scones, but if you would call the couple of "turns" I do kneading, I would say I knead the scone dough more than the biscuit dough.

These scones are so quick and simple. They only have three ingredients and produce deliciously light scones. The bubbles in the lemon soda make them rise. You can have Mandys sweet scones/biscuits using 8 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
