What Goes on a Scone First Jam or Cream? or Strawberry Clotted Cream?

I always go for the Cornish way, scone-jam-cream, you get more cream that way Strawberry clotted cream NO NO just not right.

Jam followed by cream, anything else is madness

Yep I am with the jam first brigade. How on earth can you spread jam on top of cream, it's not stable enough lol

I thought you supose to cut a scone in half and put cream on one half and jam on the other then join together. This way you can have it both ways

I believe the proper way is cream then jam then more cream. Eat then repeat

I don't know what is the proper way, but I prefer jam and then cream, as it slides off more if you do it the other way round

I cut mine in half and then put the strawberry jam on both, topped with clotted cream and have 2 cakes to eat.

A more important question is whether it's pronounced scone (sc-on) or scone (sc-own)

Scone (s.k.oh.ne) and always jam first and always always always clotted cream. Food of the Gods

Id go Cream then JAM!

I made scones yesterday because I had some clotted cream. We always put a large scoop of jam then a generous scoop of cream then sliced or halved strawberries.

Here's the deal post for it if helpful to anyone looking:

TheChimp dawarwick Definitely scone as in gone. Scone as in bone (or Scoon) is a Palace and place in Scotland. Cream has to be real fresh Cornish clotted cream, if not available Rhoda's is next best and available in most supermarkets

I'd much rather have the real components than an 'Angel Delight' filling although it's been given some good reviews. My preference is jam first because you can spread it to the edges of the scone, as thick as you like, then a huge dollop of cream. If you prefer it the other way then just slap the top and bottom together and turn the thing upside down!!!!

A little jam first and then a tonne of cream
