Which scones are done proper?

[purplepoppy]

Here are two plates of scones. On one, I've served them Cornish way with cream on top, the other the Devonian way with the cream on the bottom.

But which is the proper way?

Cornish

Devonian

Although not an amateur of such cream scones, and not competent in that field, it seems to me in all logic that the cream should be on top, as with the Cornish ones. I guess that the scones will be more stable and less prone to be annoyingly slippery when eating them.

@purplepoppy did she really bake them though? Aren't they just stock photos lol suspicious me 😭😮

[NicholasRedone]

The servings sizes sure aren't my cup of tea 🍵☕

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Clearly Devonian, because I like better how the word sounds, plus there is a nice croissant here, it's lovely !

Croissant ! 🇫🇷

I wasn't even aware there was a proper way, but I wouldn't turn down either one of the choices shown. Just guessing however it is likely that the cornish version would be the proper one with the filling between the biscuit and whipped cream.

@purplepoppy

Definitely the Cornish way... Apparently our late Majesty the Queen (UK) preferred it this way too.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you so much for the MHO.

[Nikki1989]

They are both wonderful and yes, Americans, they are scones, NOT biscuits!

[DJB72]

Neither.

The correct way is butter - NEVER MARGARINE - then Jam, then Clotted Cream. That's not clotted from the pictures. It looks whipped.

[purplepoppy]

Sadly it whipped, i couldn't get hold of clotted

[DJB72]

You're lucky to get it sometimes there. They don't make it in South Africa 😭

[RavVid]

Hmmh. Devonshire teas in my locale have the jam on the bottom. So I guess we should be calling them Cornish teas then?

[andreasderjuengere]

Only one nation on this planet is doing things proper.

So we will need to get used to ketchup on top :)

[OneViewpoint]

Neither. S-cones should be eaten plain. No topping or bottoming.

[Pudsmucker]

Man you guys are making me really super hungry for scones and looking at those fruit scones that is fantastic covered with some whipped topping oh baby You're living

[AviatorTom]

Cream should always be on top, for scones or anything else... waffles, Ice cream, etc.

[WhitneySnow]

Both are proper depending on region, but I think I’d like the Cornish way better

[NicholasRedone]

Devonian - otherwise it's vaginal discharge for Cornish 🤍😋😈

[NicholasRedone]

Appearances wise @purplepoppy lol "I want the spit" 🦃 😂 😈- Charlie Harper, Two and a Half Men

[SotiCoto]

Cornish.
Mostly because Cornwall can do nothing wrong... except the Stargazy Pie, which is an abomination.

Cream on scones? Interesting, i wonder how the local fair scone retailers would react if i brought this up?

[Staximus]

I don't like any of that stuff on scones. I eat them dry

[Anonymous]

I prefer the Cornish way.

Me a vynn an fordh Kernowek :P

[Julie4]

It's jam, and what's the cream on it?

[purplepoppy]

It's supposed to be clotted cream but I couldn't get hold of any so I just whipped the Hell out of normal cream

[Julie4]

Are you sure it can be eaten? 😂

[Anonymous]

I think you mean
"Done properly"
🙂

[ItsJill]

They both look good to me

[douride2]

I prefer the cream on top.

[Anonymous]

Semantics. They both go down the same way.

[Iron_Man]

on top but I will eat both styles

[Kingofkings1992]

Who cares? They both look good to me

[toburch]

Good
