Scones. Jam then cream or cream then jam? I have solved it.

[IncompleteSenten]

In the interests of science, I put it to the test.

Jam first then cream or cream first then jam.

After extensive testing, I am happy to confirm that it makes no fucking difference whatsoever.

However, in the interests of science I will repeat the tests later on.

Oh, and just because I like to kick shit off on here...

It's scone to rhyme with throne, bone and zone.

No debate.

Cheese scones, butter. None of this jammy, creaminess.

I solved this years ago and it is entirely dependent on the relative stiffness of the two ingredients on the day. Stiffest one goes on first, sloppier one second.

DH and I call it the Stiffiosity Index.

I just do one half jam then cream. Then the other way for the other half. Although Scones are better with just butter.

Scone rhymes with gone, otherwise the joke doesn't work.

Jam spread like thick butter, big blob of cream.

No butter.
Always clotted cream. My younger son likes spray cream (the one for hot chocolate) on his so obviously he's now available for adoption if anyone would like a 23 year old heathen for a son.

And I'm not dignifying the deluded scone gone rs with a reply.

Butter then jam then cream. The cream doesn't replace the butter. That's madness.

Scone rhymes with gone.

I don't care which order the jam or cream goes on both are delicious.
But scone rhymes with gone. Anything else is just wrong!

I do one of each option then eat the rest of the clotted cream straight out of the pot with a spoon.

Rhymes with gone.

Team jam first, although I eat the toppings , then reapply.

Scone, as in gone.

Butter
Jam
Cream.

You know it's right!

Jam n' cream if you're Cornish, cream n' jam if you are a savage...
Edited for a missed comma.

Clotted cream first then jam.

Jam first if using extra thick double cream (sometimes this is all thats in the shop).

Scone/gone

In a push, just butter, lashings of it.

What godawful cream are you using that is lighter than jam? If you aren't using the thickest heaviest clotted cream, you are doing it wrong.

Exactly this.

And it's definitely scone to rhyme with gone.

As a FOREIGNER I come into this with no bias. I've decided it all comes down to the cream. If it's clotted cream it goes on first as it is thick and sticky and clings to the scone. Jam spreads on it well. . If it is whipped cream it goes on last as it is too soft to spread jam onto and you can dollop a big blob on

It’s definitely scone to rhyme with gone, according to the late queen!
cream then jam!

West Country girl here. Jam first so you can get more cream on the scone. MIL (from Kent) was the first person I ever saw putting on butter and the first person I ever saw putting the jam on the top and I grew up in Devon - this 'Devon way' is a load of rubbish IME (and I have had a lot of cream teas in my time!). Must be clotted cream. And it's scone/gone - scone/bone sounds like a clueless Hyacinth Bucket!

Jam first as otherwise if the scone is lovely and warm the cream just sort of melts.

Scone / gone

Get rid of the disgusting cream.
Butter and jam. Scones straight from the oven.

I really want a scone (rhymes with gone) now 😜

Well I like to swirl the 2 together because I'm a heathen

Jam first. And I prefer tuffs/splits to scones... but then I am proper Cornish.

Purely based on pronunciation... OP is right ✅️ 😁

Layering irrelevant if you're able to correctly pronounce it, which you can. So very not at all even close to unreasonable!

(though I prefer the feeling of cream against my teeth than jam)

"I asked the maid in dulcet tone, to order me a buttered scone
The silly girl has been and gone, and ordered me a buttered scone"

Cream, then jam, then more cream!!
