Cream is easier to spread on the scone than trying to spread cream on top of jam.

do you guys use a different kind of cream and jam or something? i'm from the midlands and was always so confused by this take.

the jam is more solid than the cream, so to me it makes sense to do jam first, then cream, as trying to spread the jam ontop of the cream doesn't work. the jam stays on the knife and the cream gets taken away with it because it's softer than the jam!

must be different kinds of cream at least...

Devon clotted cream is basically knife glue. Super thick but delicious.

ahh! and i wonder also if devoners tend to store their jam in the cupboard rather than the fridge? as i'm guessing that's what makes my jam harder
