ミニバナナ　スコーンというお菓子を食べさせてもらって、sconeという言葉を知った。

Wikipediaで調べてみた。

A scone is a single-serving quick
bread. They are usually made of wheat, barley or oatmeal,
with baking powder as a leavening agent, and are baked on sheet pans. They are often lightly sweetened and are occasionally glazed with egg wash. The scone is a basic component of the cream tea or Devonshire tea. It differs from a teacake and other sweet buns, which are made with yeast.
