Jam one half and cream the other, then you can choose.

From a logistical point of view - jam first - then you can overload with cream :-D
Also, jam has more 'sticky' properties than cream and will stay more firmly on the scone/butter.
If you put the cream on first, the jam has a tendency to 'pull' at the cream. :-(

Jam first to spread it even and whatever thickness you require then put the cream on top

Jam first then topped up with mounds of cream

Was always served like that too in Cornish tea rooms when we holidayed in the 1979,s

I would sooner just have butter but, if I had to have the others, I would put the jam on first.

There may be trouble ahead...….. ;-) :-D

never mind what goes on them - is it scone as in gone or scone as in stone?

I don't like them tbh and detest jam :-)

Mr Owl and myself have a good marriage and we always discuss important things like money. However the one thing we do disagree on is what goes on a scone first. What does everybody think is it jam or cream first?
