Fuxache.

Butter then jam them cream.

Vary at you PERIL.

Marg, dream topping and strawberry sauce might be nice

I do cream and them jam.
Ds1 does jam and then cream (and then my grandad who lives in Cornwall but isn't from cornwall tuts and sighs at him)

Mum and I made mini scones once and did a combination of jam 1st/cream 1st.
cream 1st was easier to make and tasted better.

Mmm. I fancy scones now

Jam first. So it soaks in and makes the scone jammy.

Cream thenjam every time, I'm Somerset so my opinion probably counts for nothing.

Chaos is right.

As for butter?! That's just weird.

Philly cheese & jam is nice, but on crackers rather than scones (which rhymes with tone) :-P

How do toy spread cream on top of jam? doesn't it just slide off?

*you

Donut, bacon & maple syrup - New Jersey cream tea

Yes ikiboo. And sweet waffles with bacon and maple syrup. Yum!

Cream first, without a doubt.
Would you normally put the dairy on last? Ham then butter? MADNESS!

Who the dickens are these people using whipped cream for a cream tea?!

Clotted cream, always! I give no tiny rats asses about when you chose to stick your jam and I like butter with everything so I'll load it in if its there

And this dear reader, is how I got my fine physique!

John Lewis put whipped cream in their pre-assembled cream scones. Fair spoilt my afternoon when I fell for their trick. The fact it was free was little comfort

You dollop cream on top of the jam, you don't spread it.

Dollop cream on top of jam, as cream is infinitely more important. Though my mother does it the other way, as to her, cream is a butter substitute...
Never ever ever any butter (unless a cheese scone, or you are having it with marmite).

And NEVER EVER EVER any sugar in the scone.

and it rhymes with gone

i vote chaos!! butter jam and clotted cream no substitutes and no mentions of arteries either!

You have to create a sort of bowl/ crevice with your cream that you can put the jam in. Otherwise you risk dribbly jam.

I'll have butter if it's there, spread the jam and dollop the cream, magic!

Duvet of cream, splodge of jam.

Butter? WTAF? Butter is just over whipped cream so you're double dipping there....

I is foreign. Therefore I expect my opinion doesn't count, but as a relative newcomer to these shores, clotted cream is something I personally can't get enough of. Therefore IMHO the correct approach is the one which allows maximum clotted cream. This means a good spread of jam, then as much clotted cream as is physically possible to pile up in a pyramid.

If you put the cream on first then you can't get as much on which would be a total travesty.

Cornish pasties ARE the best though.

I'm a Devonian living in Cornwall but I would die by the sword to say Cream then Jam. Jesus, would you make a jam sandwich by putting the butter on top of the jam? No, thought not

Oh and I agree........a pasty just isn't a pasty if it isn't from Cornwall split loyalty
