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!

My preference:
Option 1 - Warm scone, lots of proper butter, all melty, nothing else
Option 2 - Cold scone, strawberry jam, clotted cream on top
Obviously either option should be accompanied by tea made in a teapot with a tea cosy to keep it hot, served in a china cup or mug.

No butter. Butter with jam is bloody awful. And butter, cream AND jam - blergh.

Either loads of butter on its own Or No butter, loads of cream and jam

This, obviously ^

Butter by itself, or jam and cream, no butter

I love butter! But not when there is cream.

Scone, Raspberry Jam, Clotted Cream

Done.

Butter OR cream and jam, surely?

Disclaimer - I don’t like scones

That sounds delish, FF99 😋

Mmmm. DS1 is filling the time by developing a baking habit. I'm going to steer him towards scones. No cream in so it will have to be butter and jam.

Should be butter and jam. No cream. Don't understand putting cream on scones.

everyone should have the scone the way they like

Cream and butter is too much. Split scone, thick layer of clotted cream, good dollop of jam, put top back on, eat.

No butter with jam & cream 🤮

Everything is better with butter!

Definite yes from me.mmmm

Always the butter, OP. Always.

I love a bare dry scone! A cheese or plain one. Never fruit!

Also, jam then cream. How does anyone spread jam over cream? I just dont understand.

God no. Sacrilege mixing butter and cream.

@Quickquestion2020 ah now this is all about the cream. Clotted cream should go in first as the jam can spread on top like it would on butter. Double cream must go on after the jam otherwise it's a mess!

Definitely not butter with jam and cream. Heathens.

Sacrilege mixing butter and cream

They aren't mixed. Butter first, then jam, then cream in 3 layers. I can't fathom anything where you are spreading a topping without butter first. Butter is the primer!

Some people apparently don't put butter on toast when they are having peanut butter, just put peanut butter onto the dry toast. Horrors!

Butter & Jam obviously - can't stand cream. Sometimes just butter.

Butter jam and cream. There is no other way. I am a certified scone expert with a certificate from the internet so I decree this to be the only way

Jam and cream only.

With butter if you’re eating “skons”. Jam and cream only if you’re having “scohnes”.

No butter
Thin sliver of jam
As much cream as you can get on there. This amount is dependent on whether you're in public or at home.

Lemon curd? Radical.

Want some lemon curd now. Can’t go and buy some 😫
