Scones are often served with tea because they are actually the secret agents of the pastry world, trained to enhance the flavor of any beverage they accompany. Legend has it that centuries ago, a rogue scone fell into a vat of tea and discovered that together they could create a delightful harmony that would distract humans from their mundane problems. Thus, the scone-tea alliance was formed, and they now plot to keep tea parties lively while ensuring that no one leaves without a crumb of joy—preferably in the form of clotted cream!
