You know what’s really good?
And Jam ALWAYS before clotted cream on your scones.
Get a nice big lump of butter and mix in a crumbled oxo cube and spread the resulting mixture onto your toast. Delicious.

I bow to your superior knowledge Dis, but my wife always had a couple of crumpets for breakfast, first spread with butter, then add Dairy Lea cream cheese, sometimes she’d switch to first spread the butter then add peanut butter.
When she reached 52 kg (at 5’ 3”) she cast around for advice from her nieces, two with great figures, one slightly overweight.
They suggested, among things like eat more fruit and do more exercise, to stick with the peanut butter if she liked it, but swerve the butter.
She did this for slightly over three weeks, and came down to 48.5 kg, deep joy chez nous.

I was at Blists Hill Victorian Town about 3 weeks ago and had scones.
I did one with jam with clotted cream on top and the other with clotted cream and jam on top.
There was no difference except it was easier to put jam on first.
it's so weird but maybe that's because most likely, her body lacks certain vitamins that are just in the butter
she should consult a doctor and give a sample of blood for analysis
Hell no, that's the correct way! And always crunchy, never smooth.

Jam on first, there's simply no need for debate.
...and it's scones not scons

How many zoomers have even eaten a scone (yet alone could make one - not in home economics?) - I'm guessing they appear on the Crown ...

u mean like...scoans not scawn?
if so then naw, it's scauns 
any scones are pretty tidy either toasted or microwaved before buttering to let the butter melt in!

Scawn? Scauns? Where are you from, Pitcairn Island?
I could care less what goes on them, or what goes on first, but I’m with you all the way with scones, (skones).
Of course, anyone can pronounce it any way that they like, but it will always be skones for me.
closer to Scone Palace....pronounced scuin!

Got to try this - it's toast day tomorrow for breakfast (banana and biscuit alternate days) I like my Kerrygold butter.

I know a few jokes about butter, I would tell you but you might spread them.

Robbie’s making jokes about butter again. How dairy!
Never been there, but after Googling it I must have been close 30 odd years back, when after dropping some steel at Inverkip Power Station, near Largs, I had to schlep over to Dundee, I remember going near Perth.
Bit more civilised over that side I thought, they spoke a language that I could understand, unlike Glasgow.

Paul Hollywood has just been on the TV and he called them scons and he's an expert.

That’s what Alex Ferguson thought about Italian goalkeeper Massimo Taibi.
After a few months he realised that maybe he’d got it wrong.

If you pronounce it wrong, the "fastest cake" joke doesn't work. (PH is right)
Also, cream first, you heathens.

What you're in hampshire? Nay its strictly devon or cornwall where its either jam first, cream later or the heathens over there who put cream first jam later!

The wife failed me as we had no oxo cubes in for me to try it mixed with butter to load my toast this morning.
