My Comments

• You can make these in the kitchen, or even in a dutch oven on a camping trip.
• This recipe is not what the rest of the world calls a "scone".  I looked at a few hundred "scone" recipes on a web site and they all made a scone that was baked in a oven, and was more like a biscuit.  The recipe above is more like an Indian fry bread.
