Solve a family dispute... butter on scones with cream and jam, yes or no? [Edited by MNHQ at OP's request]

[NoButter]

YABU - Bring on the butter
YANBU - Butter? On a scone?? I’ve never heard of such madness!

Can’t stand butter so it’s a definite no!

Yass otherwise it’s just dry!

Yes to butter. Obviously. Honestly, you people....

Butter and strawberry jam is the only way. Not cream, hate it.

Yes to butter! Can’t trust anyone that’s says no 👀

Jam and cream only

I should add this in a cream and jam situation. Nobody is suggesting one should consume a bare, dry scone... yeuch

Yes, absolutely yes to butter. And jam and cream if you have any.

@NoButter

A scone without butter is batshit. Do you have toast without it too? And teacakes?

Weird.

Oh and YABU obviously.

Butter? Wtaf?

Clotted cream. Then jam. NO BUTTER.

Butter or cream but not both. Butter is best

With clotted cream no. But otherwise yes, jam and butter delicious, and cheese scones and lashings of butter? Heaven!

Butter, then jam, then a dollop of clotted cream

Depends. Cheese scones, definitely. Plain, possibly. Fruit with jam and/or cream, yuk.

Butter belongs in a cake where it cannot he tasted. It does not belong on bread , toast crumpets or anything else! .

Urgh drip feed!

Well you should really have put this in the OP!!!!!

Of course if there is cream and jam, you don't have butter too.

But that's not what you first asked.

Either loads of butter on its own

Or

No butter, loads of cream and jam.

One or the other, I’d say. Butter & jam or cream & jam, depending on what you’ve got. I wouldn’t do butter & cream together.

So your question is "should I butter a scone that is going to have cream and jam on it?"
If that's the case, your AIBU will be all to cock.

Go nc with any family member that suggests butter is optional.

if you can't get clotted cream (which is anywhere but uk) then butter will do

Butter first. Then jam. Then a dollop of cream if available. But always butter.

WTF? Jam and cream only!!!

Allllways butter.

Butter, jam then cream. Now I want one!

I wouldn’t have butter AND cream. Acceptable combinations are:
Jam and cream
Butter and Jam
Butter only
Jam only is also ok if pushed

Those are in order of preference. Butter, jam and cream? No.
