Re: Cream Tea
Spread a thin layer of cream, so the jam doesn’t crystallise on the scon/scone, add the jam then the rest of the cream is my preference.

Re: Cream Tea
I'm now thinking it depends on the cream. Very thick, clotted cream (consistency of butter) has to be spread on first and then jam. But, if its very light whipped cream, then jam could go on first followed by dollops of whipped cream. You cannot really dollop clotted cream

I very much beg to differ. Clotted cream can DEFINITELY be dolloped....whiteswan wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 11:21 pm I'm now thinking it depends on the cream.

Re: Cream Tea
As Bon Jovi sang, you're halfway there.... Jam first is correct. It's a scone not a scon!rich_leeds64 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 3:00 pm Jam first on your Scon, having said that it all depends where you live
