For sure, you can't beat a cream tea!

I was about to say you can't beat a cream tea - scones are amazing. Really amazing.

Do you go for jam first and cream on top, or cream and then jam?

Spread the jam, then plop the cream on top!

A warm scone and let the butter melt into it, no jam or cream.

I love scones heated up with the butter melted and jam on top not too keen on clotted cream, a bit rich for me.

I like savoury scones too; Fresh & Wild used to do one with walnuts and mature cheddar that was amazing!

Fruit scones are my favourite. Cheese scones a close second. Warmed with butter - yum

Cherry scones are the best, closely followed by date and wheaten. Of course the butter needs to be an inch thick to really appreciate them.

When i do have cream, Good quality jam on its own is divine, its usually Cream on bottom jam on the top or even Jam on both sided with cream in the middle

Scones are heavenly with a cup of tea on a summers day. There is something quintessentially English about them. Served warm with a big dollop of Cornish clotted cream and some homemade strawberry jam I can think of nothing better.
