For me it's jam on first. Anything else just feels wrong

Devon has it right IMHO, I see the cream as like butter so that should go on first, with jam on top.

You forgot butter, which I think should go on before the other two.

For me, it would be butter, then jam, then cream.

Exactly this. It's not hard to understand.

The cream is thicker than the jam, so the jam spreads better on top.

Woke nonsense.

Jam first, then cream. Spreading jam on cream, are you absolutely insane?

Well, depends on personal taste, but there is an element of science behind putting a layer of fat (cream / butter) first as it affects the texture and flavor experience

When you spread cream first, its thick, fatty texture creates a smooth base that helps prevent the jam from soaking into the scone too quickly, maintaining moisture and providing a richer, creamier bite.

However if you spread jam first the sweetness and stickiness seep into the scone more readily, with the cream added afterward creating a layered, contrasting more sugary texture.

Generally those with a "sweet tooth" will likely prefer Jam first . . .

Jam first for me.

Maybe the OP should convert this into a poll?!?

I have more cream than I do jam so makes sense to me to put cream on than jam.

Out of respect for the Cornish I always go jam first, even though cream is clearly the better base layer

I find the opposite to be true, but I hardly ever have it so can't say I'm an expert.

I'm more concerned about people who think it's acceptable to put the beans on the jacket potato before the cheese.

Cream always goes on last, the Jam holds the cream in place.

I choose chaos.

Cut scone in two.

Have one half jam then cream. Then the other half cream than jam.

Thickly applied jam first, followed by a large dollop of clotted cream.

Jam first as it acts like the glue for the cream to sit on top.

Correct answer.

Butter > jam > cream.

I agree, unless there is no butter (criminal IMHO) and then it needs to be cream first as the butter substitute.

It's actually pronounced 'Scone'

I think it depends on the consistency of the cream compared to the jam. If it's clotted and thick then that's first but if its more whipped or fluffy then I'd go jam first.

Jam and cream into a bowl. Whip it together with a teaspoon.

Spread mixture evenly on Scone with a butter knife. Best of both worlds, and no-one wants to 'try' your Scone.
