Google Doodle is honoring scones for afternoon tea's anniversary. Scones are a British treat that usually come with jam and clotted cream. You can find them in bakeries all over the UK, and they're also available in other flavors like cheese or chocolate.

Scones were first seen in Scotland during the 1500s. The treat became popular and was served in the "royal tearooms." Anna Russell, also known as the 7th Duchess of Bedford, loved eating scones and started having them every day with her tea.

Tea and scones became very popular. Rich Londoners went on weekend getaways to introduce the delicacy. This happened during the Victorian era. They went to the southern coast of England. The term "cream tea" came from this.

People have been arguing about how to say and eat scones for a long time. Some say it's "scone" like gone, some say it's "scone" like bone. Others argue about whether to put cream or jam on first.

In Cornwall, they put jam before cream. But, in Devon, they put cream before jam to divide the scone.
