Are you jam first or cream first?
I'm definitely cream first which is the Devonshire way apparently. Very detailed cream tea instructions....

A Cream Tea consists of tea served with scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam. Scones may be offered plain or with fruit (addition of sultanas, currants or raisins). It is quite generous to offer both types to guests.

Afternoon tea consists of tea served with three courses, eaten in the order of sandwiches, scones (served with clotted cream and strawberry jam) and cakes/petit fours (also known as the sweet course). Small savoury items may be added to the sandwich course.

A Royal tea is afternoon tea served with champagne.

It is thought highly hospitable to provide at least two types of tea to guests.

Clotted Cream
Clotted cream is rich and sweet in taste, thick and spreadable like butter.

Clotted cream recipe https://cookthismeal.com/recipe/18894-chef-johns-clotted-cream

Eating Scones

At the the table, scones should be gently broken apart, not cut, this is done to acknowledge the skill of the baker. A perfect scone is light and fluffy.

There is regional debate when it comes to the assembling of scones. Cornish style from Cornwall is strawberry jam first, then clotted cream. Devonshire style from Devon is clotted cream first, then strawberry jam.

Scones should not be eaten sandwiched together like a burger, scoffing food interrupts pleasant conversation.

However, please note that for large catered events, it is perfectly acceptable to present scones pre-assembled and sandwiched together (this prevents the cream and jam from drying out) and as is done at The King & Queen’s Royal Garden Parties when up to 2,000 guests are present.

Enjoy!

Sending hugs ❤ Claire
