[anneasquith]

scone,jam, cream, or scone cream jam ?

[AlwaysConfused]

Scone, cream, jam and a cuppa. I didn't know there was any other way :D

[naomi24]

Scone, jam, cream.

[Tilly2]

scone, butter. Don't like cream or jam.

[Tilly2]

...............actually, I prefer a toasted teacake but that's not answering the question.

[maggiebee]

Same as naomi

[SlackAlice]

Yes please, I'll be along later ☺

Scone then butter (to stop soaking) then jam and finaly cream. It is easier to put cream on the jam than jam on cream.

[mccfluff]

scone with butter, cup of tea

cake with cream

give the jam away

[mazie]

Apricots scone with apricot jam and a dollop of whipped cream

[cazzz1975]

I thought it was jam first as it glues better to the scone, cream seems more 'airy'

[Flyhalf]

Scone with dollop of cream topped with jam. No butter!

In Devon cream then jam on the scone as they need to mask that white, milky stuff that they have the audacity to call cream. Here in Cornwall, jam first followed by cream as clotted is far thicker and superior. Also, the Cornish tea should come with a freshly baked split roll, a type of slightly sweet white bread, rather than a scone, but you hardly see that now - only in homes.

Scone, jam, then clotted cream...none of that whipped rubbish! lol

Here's a Cornish variant for you, "thunder and lightning"

cream tea.. plain scone or fruit scone ?

[mazie]

Apricot, cherry scones or cinnamon are my choice

[DTCwordfan]

definitely plain.

Butter,jam,cream. DT the bun you were talking about was called a Chudleigh I think. Have'nt seen them for years. I did try to make some once but was not over impressed.(I use Cornish Clotted cream even though I live in Devon,and I have made it. Its quite easy to make.

[wardlaw]

Ditto naomi

I can remember my grandmother making them and they were pretty good - dark treacle making up the thunder.....they were really good for the jam and cream as you could pack it in.

She was a great cake and breadmaker - but pastry for Cornish pasties was a disaster. They used to sit like bricks in your guts for hours - think it was the lard that she was using.
