Scones and Jam

They look absolutely delicious. Yum
 
I think you'll find the correct way is cream first then jam...............................................

Any link to the keto scones recipe by the way????!!!!
 
They look lovelly!
 
Cornish - jam first, cream on top. Devonish - cream first jam on top. As far as I'm concerned though whichever way about the jam and cream go - the cut surface of the scone has butter on it.
 
To me it totally depends on the relative viscosity of the jam and the cream. If it is thick clotted cream and runny jam, then the cream goes on first because otherwise the jam will run off when you try to spread the cream evenly over the scone. If the jam is well set and the cream is whipped cream, then the jam goes on first and then the cream is dolloped on the top. This is the only practical and scientific solution to the conundrum.
 
PS.They look gorgeous!

You dollop the clotted cream, you don’t spread it 🙂 Those are keto scones above. Why not have a practise with 3 or 4? I might:D Always good to polish up the old dolloping technique (and the gobbling technique!)

Whipped cream on scones? 😱
I am with @nonethewiser. It's clotted cream or no cream.
Next someone will be suggesting squirty cream from a can and there's no emoji for that!
We have standards to maintain. I am sure @AceFace has banned people from his tavern for less. :D

Totally with you on squirty cream... it is an abomination, but some of us don't have access to clotted cream and have to make do with whipped cream, plus you can burn off a few calories in advance of eating them if you use a hand whisk.

@rebrascora if you are thinking about calories when eating proper scones with jam and cream, you are not doing it right :rofl:

Actually I only ever think about carbs when I am eating. I think about calories when I am exercising. The two are rarely linked for me because I choke if I try to exercise whilst eating 🙄 .... plus it could get messy with the likes of a cream scone!
 
Yum yum, what more can one say.......

No access to clotted cream? Is that not a breach of the Human Rights Act or Geneva Convention or something 😱

Try:

They post it to you if your local supermarket doesn’t stock it. Toss away your whisk and indulge in a good dollop or two!
 
I agree it's got to be clotted cream! Ah, always wondered which was Cornish and which was Devonian - now I know (but will I remember?!)

Good point about the relative viscosities though.

Just to depress us all, I visited a National Trust property recently, and they've taken to putting the calories on all the food on display (well, that'll bomb the cake sales!). Their scones are over 400 cals each.... Oh well....

Doubt it will bomb cake sales, I mean who looks at cals when having something nice?

Best scone had for long long time was at Castle Howard last year in tearoom there, must of been homemade & was absolutely delicious, came with local jam & clotted cream of course.
