Pronunciation : “Sc-on” or “Sc-own”?
Construction : With currants / Without currants
Presentation : Jam under cream / Cream under jam?

What tyres for a tea party with elderly relatives in my back garden?

Scone rhymes with gone.

Sc-on
Without raisins
Cream on top.

Top tip – honey or golden syrup instead of jam.

Sc-on
Fruit Scone
Makes no odds.

Top tip – honey or golden syrup instead of jam.

heresy.

Jam under cream if you’re in Cornwall, cream under jam if you’re in Devon (I think that’s right).

If you’re in any other part of the country you’ve probably just smeared it all over your face while making animal noises so it’s a bit of a moot point.

Sc-on unless your name ends with “the 3rd” or something similar.

Currents are best avoided. Currants on the other hand…

Honey? Bee poo? I think not.

If you pronounce it Sc-own, then you’ll have your Northern Citizenship immediately revoked, and be cast out to the home counties

Sc-on

With out currants

Jam under cream

Bee poo?????? you sir have gone down in my estimation 🙁

Scone – as in rhymes with phone.

Any other pronunciation is just poncy southern talk!

Cream on top. Quite aside from that being the correct method, the other way up requires you to spread rather than dollop the cream. A dollop is much more satisfying.

Sc-own, say it as its spelt.
With Currents
Jam under Cream. As it is easier to put the cream on the jam.

Top tip – honey or golden syrup instead of jam.

heresy.

Try it, I dare you.

Is it a Welsh thing?

Scon. Without. Under.

Anything else is as bad as ketchup on sausages rather than HP….

As a poncy home counties dwelling Southerner, scon. Anything else is trying too hard.

And as for cream or jam first, you’re really just arguing over which Southern county you prefer 😉

Pronunciation : Scon
Construction : With currants / Without currants – doesn’t matter.
Presentation : Plate of scones with bowls of clotted cream and jam and leave the construction to the guests.

scon
with
whatever, I normally put so much on it all mingles anyway

Is it a Welsh thing?

No, it’s a molgrips thing, being someone who is not especially keen on jam.

scon
cream under jam

STACKED HIGH!

Scon, then jam, and cream on top.
Just cos it’s easier that way.

Honey? Bee poo? I think not.

Bee sick, innit?

bee sick????? philistine 😀

scown as you’re northern
with fruit inside if possible (cheery is good)
iirc CFH says jam on top of cream, that fella sownds like he no’s wot ee’s talkin abowt in ettyket sitchooashuns, so I do that.

“Scon” and I don’t care if its a plain or fruit scone, nor the order of cream/jam as the latter really makes no difference.

No, it’s a molgrips thing

Not in the least bit surprised.

I thought honey was bee sick as well.

Anyway, Scon, with fruit, doesn’t matter*

* cream load is more stable if Jam first, but lets face it, if your not just smearing the thing all over your face in an attempt to get the whole scon in your mouth in one go, you’re just not trying

🙂 @ Donk!

Rhymes with gone.
Plain scone, cream on first. Proper clotted cream, of course. None of that Cornish muck.

SC-ON

with currants

jam on top (for me)

Is it a Welsh thing?

No, it’s a molgrips thing, being someone who is not especially keen on jam.

On the couple of occasions when we met you seemed entirely normal.

Just have a chip barm and can of Kroney.

Sorted.

Sc-own when I was a nipper, how the family pronouced it. The Wife says Sc-on. So………… Sc-on it is.

Sultanas not currants.
Proper butter.
Jam then cream. How do you spread jam on cream?

Clotted cream?

Sc-on

Fruit- I’m thinking sultana more than currant.

With access to proper thick clotted cream – jam on top
If making do with whipped double cream – jam on bottom, maybe even a little butter first.

sc-own pronunciation for me. fruit or plain doesnt really matter to me. has to be cream first followed by a blob of jam

On the couple of occasions when we met you seemed entirely normal.

And yet.. I’m an STWer…

Sc-on
Don’t like currants or jam…
…So usually only make cheese scones

Might try that honey/cream combo though.

Scone as in cone…not hard, is it? Imbeciles!

Scone (as in groan), currants optional but very welcome.
Jam (Strawberry of preference, raspberry as a secondary choice)
Cream (clotted)

Cream on first, then jam.

S-cone
Without (Don’t like dried fruit)
Jam then cream; it’s a bugger trying to spread thick jam on top of cream, easier to spread jam, then dump a huge dollop of cream on top.
Yum. 😀

Why are people trying to spread the jam and cream on? Don’t you have teaspoons?

Don’t you have teaablespoons?

FTFY.

Go big, or go home.

any primary school child can tell you the E on the end makes the vowel say its name, so its sc-OH-ne.
Butter, jam, cream, all applied with a ladle.
