It is believed that historically scones were round and flat, usually as large as a medium-sized plate. It was made and baked on a griddle and then cut into triangular sections for serving.

When baking powder became available to the masses, scones began to be oven-baked, Modern scones are widely available in bakeries, grocery stores, and supermarkets.

Scones sold commercially are usually round, although some brands are hexagonal as this shape may be tessellated for space efficiency. When prepared at home, they may take various shapes including triangles, rounds squares, and hearth shapes, baking scones at home is often closely tied to heritage baking.
