Scones/ Scooones - fluted edge or not?

[7catsisnotenough]

Just that really - going to be doing some baking for a local cafe, so should scones/scooones have a fluted edge or not?
Does it depend on whether it's a Devon scone (scooone), a fruited scone (scooone ) or a cheese scone (scooone)???
Please ignore the spellings, just trying to keep everyone onboard despite any disparities in pronunciation!

Just scone is fine. People can read it in whatever pronunciation they like.

As for the fluting, I don't know.

Good question. In my late mums eyes, sweet scones - Fluted; cheese or other savoury - plain.

Scottish by the way , so that may vary by location.

It's unimportant generally; BUT the cafe might have a "fluted are fruit, hex are devon, round are cheese" or whatever arrangement in place already, so don't confuse the poor waitstaff by doing them differently. If they don't, ask if they want such an arrangement.

Fluted! (According to my gran...)

The recipe I follow says use a plain cutter as they rise better than when a fluted cutter is used.

I don't care as long as its pronounced properly; sconE!

Does anyone pronounce it scooone? Surely it's either scone or sconn. Or is it Scottish or something?

At school (40 years ago!) we were taught fluted cutters were for sweet scones and plain cutters for savory. It's a good way to identify them if you plan to offer both.

Whatever cutter you use, don't twist it after you've cut. That prevents a good rise.

I don't think there are any rules - I use plain, purely because it's less faffy to wash up!

Thanks everyone for the input and tips!

@HerNameIsIncontinentiaButtocks I had no idea that Devon scones should be hex - thanks for the info.

It seems that the consensus is fruit are fluted, savoury are plain cut 😊

Many thanks again everyone 💐

Correct

What's a scooone? (Scoon? Skown?)
It's sgon. Warm from being freshly baked and lots of butter - it's gone, sgon.

The town of Scone is pronounced scooon

That's the way I was taught at school in S E England.
