Let's settle this with a vote, scones,jam first or cream first ?

[Stuckinthemiddlewithyouuhoh]

Vote

I suppose if you count a bunch of people saying one of two options in a list a conversation although that isn't what @Stuckinthemiddlewithyouuhoh asked for

She's expecting something that people have droned on about for centuries to be settled, literally no one is going to change what they do after reading this, I don't get the point or why anyone would expect them to

I prefer a cheese scone so butter first then marmite................

She isn't literally expecting it to be settled. It's just a turn of phrase to start a lighthearted thread. Pretty obviously.

You spread cream first like butter then put a big blob of jam on the top.

Cream first. Because jam is more spreadable so easier to construct without the whole lot sliding off.

This one

Thin layer of jam, then massive dollop of cream.

I'm not a massive fan of the texture of jam so I add just enough to add some flavour without it affecting how it feels in my mouth.

Butter first, then jam. Cream never goes on easily so is sort of blobbed on the top.
I am a traitor to my county though.

Split the skon.

On each half spread the jam of your choice.
Then dollop on a huge squidge of cream.

Eat each half separately, thereby gett8ng more jam and more cream.

Plain or fruit - either or both.

But I am Scottish. If I could deep fry it, that would be the dog’s bollocks.

Jam… and I’m from Devon 😂

Physics and elocution!

@LaMarschallin

Both correct.

Wouldn't bother.

Get splits instead. The thickest part of the clotted cream is spread first, then the raspberry jam, then a second caress of the softer cream on that for good measure whilst strong tea is poured from the white china pot into white china mugs cups.

Proper job.

Skown.
Definitely no butter.
Jam spread
Cream dolloped

Just cream, jam is gross! and plain scones no sultanas either.

No butter!!! The thought 😱
Jam first, then cream.
(The only exception is if you’re photographing the scones for a magazine or something, as they look prettier with jam on top and you can see both layers then.)

This is what I do 😅

Butter? Wtf? Have you no consideration for the NHS?

Anyway, it's obviously clotted cream first, then strawberry jam. Do not listen to my idiot DH, who is the most wonderful, gorgeous, sexually-skilled man on earth, but who prefers raspberry jam, and puts it on first like some sort of barbarian.

Yes you guys are right with the vote !!

has to be jam first or you can’t really taste the cream

settled it once and for all now 👏

Clotted cream is horrible anyway.
(Runs away)

Butter, jam, cream. It’s the 11th Commandment.

Jam first, otherwise the cream melts (as the scone must be warm) and have you tried spreading jam on cream?

The vote is completely wrong

Cream first because thats the fat element

And you cant spread cream on top of jam, the jam just squidges out

Jam on top of cream

Which is always on the base of butter, salted butter of course

A thin layer of jam first then a good dollop of cream. If you put the cream on first the jam slides off it.
