This is interesting

I just realized the difference between scones, dumplings and damper is only in the way you cook them.

Scones: Take scone mix, make scones, bake until they look like scones
Dumplings: Take scone mix, roll into balls approx 2" across, boil in soup until the ball expands and is all puffy and dry inside.
Damper: Take scone mix, scoosh it into a rough loaf-shape, wrap in aluminium foil and bury in burning campfire ash until the inside is sort of bready and the outside is crusty.

Scone mix???

If you're using scone mix, of course they're all the same thing! If you use proper recipes they'll all come out different because they ARE different.
