British scones are more like US biscuits, which are a drier and plainer version of US scones. I bake mine from scratch, use a "scone and cornbread" pan for baking, and end up with very tender, moist, delicious triangles of goodness. I don't have a close-up photo of my scones, but I can show you one of them cooling on the rack.I don´t know what recipe you used, but they do not look at all like scones, I´m afraid.
Firstly, they look sort of grey; and secondly, no self-respecting Brit would ever serve scones with sauce on top.[emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
Scones are very similar to (US) biscuits - the difference is the use of buttermilk and less sugar.
Scones are basically flour, butter, milk, egg and baking powder. Here are the ones I made a few weeks ago:

If you´d like the recipe, I´m only too happy to post it.
Scones are usually served warm, with butter, jam (jelly) and cream. There are savoury scones, however - usually with cheese, but sometimes with bacon.
Now you all have me wanting to bake a batch. Hmm, maybe a pan of chocolate-orange ones...
