Please settle an argument with DP and I

When having a scone do you put the jam on first and then the cream, or the cream on first and then the jam?

And do you pronounce scone like “Scoan” or ”Scon”?

@Madbengalmum exactly... so its scone like cone

Jam then loads of cream. Preferably with butter on first if there is any.

I switch back and forth with pronunciation, though, because I've moved around quite a lot and ended up being teased...

Butter then cream (no jam as I hate it but if doing my son one, I’ll put the jam on last).

I say Scone (to rhyme with cone).

Butter jam cream on a scone pronounced to rhyme with cone.

Jam, cream, scon

Butter, jam, cream. Unless the cream is really stiff, in which case jam last.

Either pronunciation scoan is the right way though

Dont care but DONT put a crumby/creamy/buttery knife into the jar of jam.

Cream then jam

Butter, jam, cream

Scoan.

For the record - I say scon and I would put jam on first and then cream. Definitely no butter.

My DP says scoan and he puts the cream on first and then jam. He sometimes puts butter on first too if he’s feeling ultra indulgent

I can settle your argument. It's "DP and me" not "DP and I." yes I know I'm a dick

Butter > jam > cream > "scoan."

Butter, jam, no cream (utter heathen)

Scoan.

I don't like scones.
If I was doing one for the dc I'd do cream then jam. I think. Can't say I've ever paid much attention!
I say scone to rhyme with gone.

Scone, if it was meant to be Scon it would be spelt scon! Ah, of course. Like gon.

Jam, then cream.

Scone, to rhyme with groan.

Jam then cream and Scone (cone), no one I know from where I live say scone (gone).

Cream first means you can taste the jam better because it's not buried under an inch of cream. But if the jam is runny, jam first lets it sink into the scone.

Jam then cream. Cream on first means you can't spread the jam on and makes no sense. No butter! Scon rhymes with gone.

Scon

Butter, cream, jam - I think it’s more aesthetically pleasing (like a muller corner!)

Lots of jam followed by lots of cream, no butter. Scoan.

Butter both sides with jam in the middle (no cream) and scone not 'scon'

Cream on first means you can't spread the jam on and makes no sense. That's where you're going wrong, trying to spread the jam. You just spoon it on in a big fruit-filled heap.

I'm from Cornwall originally, and there we pronounce it Scoan and definitely jam first and then cream. How can you even spread jam onto cream? That would be really messy!

I used to think people who pronounced it ‘scoan’ were just misguidedly trying to sound posh but now I think it’s probably more a regional thing.
