No, no, no, no.

No.
You're actually worse than the animals that think it's ok to put jam first.
No piece prize for you.
You're actually worse than the animals that think it's ok to put jam first.
Agreed.
no no no!ok to put jam first
Jam has to come first, cream on top as a dollop! don't think of it as a replacement for butter, think of it as a topping to a cake.
So which one did you put on first?
You're actually worse than the animals that think it's ok to put jam first.
I have no particular vested interest either way (aside from the abomination in the OP) so must rely on logic. Given the immediately obvious question of "how the frank are you supposed to spread cold, thick jam on top of a half inch thick layer of wobbly cream?" logic would dictate that the jam surely has to go first.
I had to do a full experiment

Results were inconclusive, more tests needed
I am a staunch cream first man (besides being the proper way, you can get more cream on), however the moist sweetness of the jam right against the scone does have its appeal
(Don't worry, more jam and cream were added after pix taken)
on this matter it how you pronounce scone really defines you.
To rhyme with "own".

I think it depends if what you call cream looks like this:-

OP's solution is quite frankly an insult. Who wants a mouthful of just cream or just jam with their scone? It make me feel a bit sick just looking at it. They have caught themselves in the minefield of semi thick cream that does neither over or under any favours.
thank god you didn't butter them first.
cream first, jam flavour shines through better when on top.
To rhyme with "own".
Hyacinth Bucket would say that. Do you want that? Really?
It's indecisive people like you that have led us to a hung parliament.
wrong just wrong 😉
Butter, then jam, then cream. You can pile the cream high on top. Its not easy to put jam on a pile of cream
BURN HIM!
Why not put the cream on one side and the jam on the other? Then as you can't put it down you shove it in in one go.
runniest one on top, so needs a full assessment of available materials before a decision can be made
... but if all else is equal, jam first, [b][u]obvz[/u][/b]
Why not have some cheese on toast, ya bunch of fairies. 😛
I'm with cougar on the logical approach.

This - and consider what one normally does with cream, would you put it in your dish first then your pudding on top? At the base of your trifle? Underneath the meringue of your pavlova?
on this matter it how you pronounce scone really defines you.
Unfortunately, some people seem to have decided to use a Scottish accent and pronounce it as "sconn", instead of the English pronounciation as in "own".

I do this. It's one of the many advantages of being Scottish.
And cream on top you bloody heathens.
Well this certainly puts the whole Northern Ireland thing into perspective.

To answer the queries regarding the first half and half solution ..... one eats ones scone down the centre line, so half mouth has cream, half mouth has jam
Half brain has half idea?
'Tis an abomination.
how do you drink whisky/rum? however you enjoy it most.
how do you eat a scone with cream and jam? however you enjoy it most.

To rhyme with "own".
Correct.
And definitely cream first.
rhymes with Gone, jam first.
*Runs in*
Throws 'raspberry or strawberry jam?' grenade
*Runs out*
OP you are dead to me. You monster.
Jam first then clotted cream for me. Unless I am having a cheese scone then it's toasted and eaten with tuna or beans
I think it depends if what you call cream looks like this:-
Point stands. It's hardly structural stuff unless you just vaguely show the pot to the scone rather than put a sensible amount.
Anyway, I believe I may have actually just fixed the OP's proposition. You prep the scone base like the OP's picture, but then you fold it in half like a Cornish pastie.
Can't believe how anyone could argue that it's pronounced "scone" when everyone knows its pronounced "scone", come on
Butter - Clotted Cream - Jam - Single Anchovy

scone - A small unsweetened or lightly sweetened biscuitlike cake made from flour, fat, and milk and sometimes having added fruit.Origin
Early 16th century (originally Scots): perhaps from Middle Dutch schoon(broot) ‘fine (bread)’.
Strawberry jam then clotted cream.
On your scone. Rhymes with gone.
Any variation from the above feels very wrong.
Scones. Scots food*, we get bagsies on pronunciation.
So that settles it then - rhymes with 'spoon'.
And if its scots food then forget the cream or the jam - a scone belongs in a crispy roll with a slice of lorne sausage.

Shouldn't it be battered and deep-fried?
Scots food
Oats - agrain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.
Deep fried. Obvs.
Scone rhymes with 'own'
It's jam first - cream melts on a still warm, fresh scone.
Cream should be clotted and excessive.
On a more controversial note, I like mine with blackcurrant jam 😯 . Strawberry is obviously fine but never raspberry.

It's how we substation the English tourist market. You don't think [b]we [/b]eat deep fried mars bars do you?
Point stands. It's hardly structural stuff unless you just vaguely show the pot to the scone rather than put a sensible amount.
Au contraire, a proper clotted cream has the consistency of clay - or if you like a damp brick. That's pretty structural. And your best home made jam has lovely whole strawberries (blackberries above, pftt) in a light runny jam that could be downed by the pint if diabetes was not a thing.
Now if you are stuck with whipping cream and a jar of robinsons a reversal to jam then cream does make sense. I'm a modern man - I can adapt to suit difficult times if I must.
This thread is amazeballs, and I salute the OP for his contribution to the gaiety of nations. 🙂
Take scone.
Open blender.
Drop scone in blender, adding a heaped tablespoon each of jam and UHT squirty cream.
Add some chilled liquid (soy milk will suffice)
Blend until drinkable.
Now go and make a [url= http://www.delish.com/food/a41889/mashed-potato-fried-chicken-cornbread-cake/ ]proper cake[/url] while you sip your scone.
Jam first, cream on top. And it rhymes with gone. And a nice cup of tea, milk, no sugar.
Anything else is wrong.
so the people who say scone (rhymes gone) has cream on top, the ones who say scone (own) has cream in the wrong place?
Of course it's got to be jam first: Jam is a more competent substrate for the application of cream. Cream first is a bit like laying a compacted type 1 base over a layer of loose sand.
For the record, I'm a scone [gone]-type person.
Where's the butter?
Cream on top ALWAYS!

Have you actually tried applying (decent) clotted cream on (decent) jam? Like dropping a brick in a mud-puddle.
This can be reversed if you use fluffy rubbish cream and hard rubbish jam.
Today I solved the longest argument in human history
It's not an argument.
It's a Sconflict
The rhymes with own types won't get that.
Wait. People are using whipped cream as opposed to clotted? And we're supposed to respect their opinion?
Be honest, on a fresh scone warm from the oven cream is unnecessary.
Cream is only there to improve stale scones.
Yep. Just make sure you put the milk in first.And a nice cup of tea, milk, no sugar.

This is the correct answer. I have conducted trials, and found that far more jam and clotted cream can be applied if it's jam first.

Sorry but absolute cobblers. Unless, of course, your particular 'jam' is dry and akin to a tough fruity spread, and your clotted cream is too soft and too warm
Home made scones.
When still warm from oven a spreading of jam (cream would melt). Butter optional.
A dollop of cream.
Scone that rhymes with gone.
Best way is to throw the whole daft lot in the bin and order one of these instead:

With butter. Shedloads of butter.
I put on first which ever is closer, so jam or cream.
There's never enough clotted cream though.
Are you a Cornish who ****s his sister?
Cream then jam. Cream is a butter replacement.

No, they're scones, not cobblers. And you are so very wrong. Jam is applied first in a thick, even layer. Clotted cream is then dolloped on top. The other way round results in the jam sliding off the cream. The problem can be solved by applying less jam and cream, but if that's you're method then you're even more of a heathen than I had thought.
Are you a Cornish who **** his sister?Cream then jam. Cream is a butter replacement.
It's a scone, not toast. The cream isn't a replacement for anything.
Weird one for me - sometimes call them scone, other times scone. Have no idea why. And if the word for them comes from the Dutch word surely the Dutch can claim them...?
Assembled as it comes to hand - it's all gonna get mashed up in the mouth anyway.
Funniest post on the thread is the one where we're led to believe Flashheart is wise. Unless Cougar is referring to a real wise man, of course...
Fresh scone (said as in 'on'), butter, lashings of jam.
Why would you need cream?

I can excuse all this as long as NO DOUBLE DIPIING.....
Jam has to be at room temperature as well not in one of those little foil covered plastic tubs that you get in B&Bs for the continental breakfast.
It's my wife that double dips as "I'm to dainty to eat one in half so I cut it up then add a dollop of each to Little triangles of scone"
What about current/cherry scones are they just messing with perfection?
Why would you need cream?
For a cream tea? I've no idea.
Has to be scone rhyming with bone as they are nouns. Dome would also qualify. Rhyming with gone makes no sense and gone etc are not nouns.
