    Jam and Cream together … or I'm not understanding the question 🤔

    Which one do you put on the scone first?

    jam first, obviously. creates a proper base so the cream doesn't just slide off into a tragic mess.

    if you're putting the cream on first, that's just pure chaos

    I don't eat scones and I've spent way too much time thinking about the best way to do it now 😂 I think maybe I'm erring more to the side of cream then jam for stability.

    Ohhh I had visions of folks splitting the scone and eating each half

    I only ever have then in funeral teas … and never noticed which is first

    I once read a very well written and characteristically quaint article by Fortnum & Mason (the authority on this if there ever was one) on this subject

    After the essay they concluded that there is no correct answer, whatever makes you happy… despite what that relative (everybody has one) insists is the "proper" way!

    I alternate it and do jam first on one half first and then cream side on the other half first to see if there is a difference😊
