[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m British, and this discussion is confusing to me because I had thought that the things called scones here were just an entirely different baked good to the English scones I’m used to. Not trying to be like an English scone, just a totally different thing. Like what you call biscuit and what I call biscuit are completely different and not trying to be the same thing at all. Actually, now I think about it, an American biscuit is probably closer to an english scone.

English scone = American biscuit
English biscuit = American cookie
English flapjack = American variation of coffee cake
American pancakes (sometimes called flapjacks) = English what?
Starbucks scone = hockey puck!

Close. IMHO:

English scone = English scone
American biscuit = American biscuit. Can be similar to an English scone made without the sugar, but there are a lot of varieties out there that differ mostly in the type of fat used (lard v butter v heavy cream v margarine that all yield very different results) 
English biscuit = American cookie
English flapjack = American quick bread or coffee cake, baked to the height of a brownie.
American pancakes (sometimes called flapjacks) = American pancakes. Similar to a crepe that you might make for shrove Tuesday, but thicker.
Starbucks scone = hockey puck! Yes! Gross![/quote]
