Jam or cream first?

Jam 1st, not sure if that is the Devon way or Cornish way but that's the right way for me

Definitely Jam first (Cornish way)!

Cream first (Cornish Boy way)!

 

[Sandancers]

On Tyneside we never have a problem making that decision as the Politicians have always told us it's "Jam Tomorrow"!

How many ice cubes to put in G&T , sod the solid stuff

 

[denisejoe]

Jam first as you can pile more cream on

or better way eat scone with plenty of butter the use sponge to eat clotted cream throw jam away

 

[Dazzlin]

No jam, no scone, just eat a pot of clotted cream with a spoon...

 

[Richard n Ann]

Or replace the above sugary crap with bacon sarny

 

[Dazzlin]

And it's scone, rhymes with gone, not cone

My solution is to alternate: there is no such thing as single scone in these circumstances.
I may experiment with the triple layer this summer - however cream would then be the first and last layer.

After years of practise I recon cream first. As an aside, my wife make gorgeous scones in a Remosca.
In fact there are some ready to have with my coffees at 11am, the “ fumes “ smell good.

I have had a problem in France as you cannot buy clotted cream, at least nowhere we have found, the wife uses a whisker to “ stiffen “ up their runny stuff.

How do you people who put the CREAM on first, manage to put jam on top of it?

Or do you just sort of 'plop' it on from a height like a seagull plops? Otherwise the cream would squidge out when you tried to put the jam on it.

A valid point and there are many consderations, not least the thickness of the cream and whether or not it is truly clotted. It might be argued that it's ability to adequately support the spreading of jam is testament to it's quality.

(I've clearly given this far too much thought).

Need proper Cornish clotted cream such as Rodda's, that doesnt squidge all over the place when putting jam on top

If in Johnny Foreigner land (god I wish, bloody covid) you can make your own clotted cream from cream, google is your friend.
