Butter on a cream scone (pron, scon)? Weird!

Best cherry scones are available at nickel end marina on derwent water just outside of Keswick, absolutely sublime.

what about the fishcake/scone scenerio i mentioned earlier in the thread….. i wud like your views on that too..interesting these kinda subjects 😉

If you were having a jam butty, would you put the butter on top of the jam ? No.

That's why you put butter on first, then jam, then cream. The only solution. Butter serves a different purpose from cream anyway, butter is basically something to stick things to the bread, whilst providing a nice flavour, cream is a nice topping for things. No point in using lovely thick clotted cream if you're just going to squish it all up.

I did empirical testing of the jam vs cream ordering, and the problem with cream then jam is that you can't get a decent amount of cream on, and you can't get the jam spread nice and evenly. The other way round, you can get a nice even spread of jam, and a decent quantity of cream. As a plus, you avoid mixing jam and cream on your utensils, which is nice if you're having a large number of scones one after the other.

Oh and sk-owns.

Sorted.

Extreme west country delicacy fail

Raisins in your scone?

Woppit, are you out of your little tiny mind? FRENCH jam on a scone? FRENCH? FRENCH?

Get thee away from me, foul feind!

English strawberries (And raspberries) are the Best in The World. Of that there is no doubt, so therefore make THE BEST JAM. Remember that young man!

Here in Wales butter gets spread on everything – cream teas, fish fingers, cornflakes, absolutely everything. The thicker and saltier the better.

I'm with Mr Woppit.

Scon. Not Scown. Idiots.

cinnamon and rasin are the way forward, with a bit of butter

+1 for PeterPoddy above!

For me, it's got to be Devonian clotted cream, put on first of course, and then a smattering of Tiptree's divine Little Scarlet.
