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!

Yes to

1. Butter only
2. Jam then the cream

3.Butter with jam

Its butter.....then jam and then cream of course.....in the highly likely event i forget to buy the cream then butter and jam will have to do.

Only if desperate but clotted cream and jam is the best way.
Don't start a debate about strawberry or raspberry jam

Of course, always butter, that's the base, then add the jam and cream.

Butter only or butter and jam. Hate clotted cream 🤢

Bloody drip feeds, my vote is wrong now. Butter OR cream, not neither, not both. Obviously.

Only if there is no cream

Yes. Butter, jam and cream. No question!

Butter then jam then clotted cream.

My mum made some coconut scones a few weeks ago. And she served them with best butter and pineapple jam! They were hands down the best thing I’ve ever tasted!!

Ach I voted then saw the drip..!
Acceptable scone toppings in no particular order

1. Butter alone
2. Jam alone
3. Lemon curd alone
4. Butter then jam
5. Jam then clotted cream
6. Naked straight from the oven.

Only butter! No jam. No cream. Now I need to bake some.

Yes to butter, yes to jam and butter.

Cream vs Butter?

Cream all the way

Just jam.

I'm a mad lady. Microwave for a few seconds for it to warm up and then slather in butter.

I am Cornish, which I think makes me something of an authority on this subject. Jam and cream, in that order and nothing else. No butter. I'm flabbergasted at the suggestion.

Lashings of butter and occasionally raspberry jam but cream!!!! Sorry but a big fat no to that.

How is it a drip feed? The question is in the title of the thread!

Totally jam and cream OR butter. Butter with cream is beyond the pale.

Butter, jam then clotted cream. Any other way is jank.

Both (jam and butter) are fine on their own but not together. It should be either one or the other.

Scone. Butter. Cream. Jam.

^Either loads of butter on its own

Or

No butter, loads of cream and jam.^

I like the way you think. As Homer Simpson says, "If less is more, think how much more MORE is!"

Yes to butter. And it's jam and cream, not cream and jam. That's like pepper and salt; just wrong.

Yes definitely butter, jam and cream in that order
