Aren't scones also usually [lightly] sweet? Biscuits are very rarely
sweet, though many folks I know eat them with honey butter.
(Obviously, exceptions to both do exist, hence my usage of 'usually'
and 'rarely'.) Regardless, biscuits and scones are very closely
related, and I've had many scones that, were they not sweet and called
scones when put in front of me, I would call them biscuits. Therefore,
the difference just seems to be usage - both are good with clotted
cream, and that makes both good in my book. :)
