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.
BTW, I'm a :
Rhymes with own
Clotted cream before jam
Fluffy cream after jam
No butter....
Wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.

You English folk can decide on Yorkshire puddings.
As a Lancashire chap, I'm offended.

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.

I am disappointed that for some reason I cannot see the picture..I can only imagine what you have posted. 😀

The next f***er born in Yorkshire that rhymes it with 'own' will get a visit from their neighbours

You mean you worked out if it takes off when placed on a conveyor belt?

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.

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.
"you're method"
Why are you suggesting that he is a method?
Obviously homemade is best but what supermarket scones would you recommend?
Rhyming with gone makes no sense
It does if you like awful Dad jokes. 🙂
