Does the cream go on first or on top? If it's whipped cream, and relatively soft, I put it on top of the jam. However, on my scones clotted cream goes on first. What do you do?
I put jam first then cream....love scones with homemade jam and a good dollop of clotted cream. Is their a right way for etiquettes sake?
It depends which is more 'solid'. If jam is runny and cream clotted then cream first and if jam is jelly like and cream whipped then its jam first. If jam is jelly like and cream clotted I think it would be cream on top.
i recall reading somewhere that it depends if you come from Devon or Cornwall - one county does the jam on top, one does the cream...can't recall which way round tho...I'm from sussex and we always did cream on top!
I am from Ireland & we always have the cream on the top.
According to one site on Google, people from Devon tend to put cream on first and people from Cornwall put it on top of the jam. I still think it should depend on how floppy the cream is in the first place!
I always put the cream on top.Now the question is which of you pronounce scone to rhyme wi stone and which to rhyme with gone?!
Well, I'm from Sussex AND Ireland, and I say cream goes on top :) I say 'scone' to rhyme with 'gone', not 'cone'.
I put the jam on first, then the cream... Coming from Liverpool I pronounce it 'skon'
They rhyme with cones here!
i say skon but the canadians say skone...they are very fond of a scone here though clotted cream is not on radar at all (in fact I had someone at work ask me about it recently because they saw someone on tv put this stuff that looked like butter on a scone... they knew it wasn't butter but wanted to know exactly what it was!?!)
