What is the correct way to eat scones?

The Basics of Eating a Scone Properly Break apart a small bite-sized portion of scone with your hands or if using a knife, cut the scone horizontally. Use a knife to slather on cream and jam onto the broken-off piece of scone. The bite-sized piece of scone should be eaten in 1-2 bites.

Do you put cream or jam on scones first?

Which is the posh way to say scone?

The correct pronunciation of the British afternoon tea staple, scone, is an age-old dispute. Pronunciation usually varies depending on your class and where you live, with many viewing the longer vowel sound of scone to rhyme with 'bone' as posh.

Who puts cream on scones first?

The Queen is right about scones – it's cream first, THEN jam.

What is clotted cream used for?

Clotted cream can be used as an accompaniment to hot or cold desserts. Clotted cream, especially clotted cream from Devon, where it is less yellow due to lower carotene levels in the grass, is regularly used in baking. It is used throughout southwest England in the production of ice cream and fudge.

Is clotted cream illegal in the US?

You can find clotted cream in the U.S., but since the legality of unpasteurized dairy products is confusing, it's probably going to be pasteurized. This will affect both its flavor and texture and it won't be exactly the product you remember. Typically, clotted cream is sold in a jar.
