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”?

scone - gone, jam and cream on top.

That's where you're going wrong, trying to spread the jam. You just spoon it on in a big fruit-filled heap.

No no no, you want a bit more cream than jam and jam in a nice even spread so you get a mixed mouthful every time, not great lumps of jam.

Depends on the consistancy of the materials. thicker one goes underneath otherwise its a mess. so if the jam is very firm it goes first but if its runny goes on the cream.

Regarding the scone/scon, i believe that when there is a question of the pronunciation i believe that the 'done' thing is to go with the queens. She says Scon.

Im not a royalist or anything but i happy to let her have that one thing...

Cream
Jam
Rhymes with gone

Scone rhymes with gone, and jam (strawberry preferably) then cream (clotted preferably). Would tolerate other dark fruit jam but apricot (a favourite on toast) is just not up to the job. Will tolerate whipped cream, but definitely not runny or the revolting stuff squirted out of a can.

Its obviously scoan if you removed the s its cone not con so scone is scoan and not scon..

First, I take my SCON! Then I put jam on it. Then a dollop of cream on top. Yum.

my favourite way is warm scone, butter, jam and a dollop of clotted cream washed down with lashings of hot tea...can you tell im on a diet!

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

Oooh, I always thought it was the other way round, that 'scon' was the posh way to say it, and we scoan people were advertising our low classness.

Jam first and then cream. How do you even spread Jam on cream?

Pronunciation - 'Scoan'

Butter then jam, never, ever cream. And I pronounce it scoan

Scohwn, with cream first then jam

My SIL puts butter on hers, can't understand it myself.

It's "scon" and it's cream, then jam. Unless you're in a hurry, then it's cream one side, jam the other and all in your mouth like a sandwich!

This is a terrible thread. All this talk of warm scones, with jam and a dollop of clotted cream, am i the only one swallowing upon reading that?

Jam, cream, scon

Jam then cream.
Scone to rhyme with moan 😂

Hubby is opposite and we're both Yorkshire people. Lol.

McNutty I am sorry for that, my kids tell me off for sounding like an M&S advert when I describe foods, particularly deserts...I am on a very strict diet so can relate to it too now :)

On a side note - my in laws call crumpets pike-lets. It horrifies me! 😂🙈

Jam then cream
scone to rhyme with cone

Cream then jam on a scon rhyming with gone- unless it's a cheese scone - that would make it taste a bit odd

apricot (a favourite on toast) is just not up to the job

Yes, I agree. I favour raspberry though. Strawberry is a bit meh.

No butter, cream then jam raspberry
Scone rhymes with gone.

Jam then cream. Scone to rhyme with gone.

I now really fancy a cream tea...

No butter, cream first (clotted acts as butter too) then a dollop of jam on top. Scon to rhyme with gone

Butter
Jam
Cream
Scone to rhyme with cone
