That's not important to me. What is important is, did you use a, different knife for spreading cream and jam?

Cornwall

The Cornish way would be jam first. If you look at the cream as a fat, this usually put that on your bread product/scone first, then top off with the jam. Technically both are correct (a source of constant debate in Cornwall )

In Devon it’s cream first, cross the border to Cornwall and it swaps over. Anywhere else you get to choose x

Cream first and then the jam.

You would put cheese in your sandwich and then the butter now would you

Hailing from Devon, it’s constantly on the news, the Cornish having rolling 24 hour news on why we are doing it wrong, their reporters are constantly stood on the Tamar bridge saying they’re doing it all weird still, we go down there to shhh them off, they taunt us with their upside down scones, but it will never wash, cause it’s etched in stone and as a proud Devonian I will never eat a scone any other way than with cream first.

Cream then jam. It would be jam on last in order to show off essentially. Back in the day everyone could get cream but not everyone had access to sugar, so to show off to your guests the jam goes on last.

Jam first you shouldn’t spread cream. Spread jam then a blob of clotted cream on top.

Or do it as my mum would have done... proper salted butter, jam then cream

Being of Cornish origins myself, it is always going to be jam first and then lashings of clotted cream.

Sadly because I love knowledge though I have to concede that it was those pesky Devonians who came up with it in the first place and they are 'technically' correct in putting on cream first.....sorry to my fellow Cornish men and women, I hate knowing this but it's true.

"Yes butter then jam then cream preferably clotted x"

Its nigh on impossible to apply quality turgid clotted cream upon quality fruity soft jam

Clotted cream and butter are imo near enough the same thing

Imho, whichever sticks the scone easiest goes first. That could be really sticky jam or thick cream. If what's left spreads over the top of what you've just put on doesn't pull the lower layer up then that how to do it. It's context sensitive.

Its a no brainer its jam first as you can't spread jam evenly over the cream.

Cut the scone in half and put jam on the bottom half and cream on the top half and then place the two half's together

More to the point, I think everyone has scared the OP off, and is it scones or scones?

The next time we have scones I plan on testing which is best, by trying both ways of applying the cream and jam! I have always been a cream on 1st kinda gal, but have recently wondered if the gastronomic experience of such a delicious delicacy would be better if I spread the jam on 1st!

Depends on how thick the cream is.

If the cream is really thick then it works better to do cream first.

Butter goes on before jam or cream though
