I just made a batch of scones. And I luuurve scones! They never taste like my mum's but that is another thread!

It occurred to me, as I was cutting them, that I cut them in circles, just as my mum did. And that I place them on the tray all next to each other and touching, like my mum did.
TBH, I didn't realise there was any other way to make them until I left home!
DH's mum makes square scones. A travesty, if you ask me and he had never had round ones until I made them for him.

So it got me thinking, how do you do it, and why?
Square or round?
Touching or spread apart?

Ah, first world questions!!
