I agree in part - it's the clotted cream that's the critical item. I could easily do without the jam, a freshly baked scone is a very useful and tasty way of serving the main ingredient (but ice cream made from clotted cream and coated in clotted cream in a waffle cone is an even better method).

I do like the jam and cream combo, but agree the clotted cream is the focal point. This scone and butter nonsense is a sham, butter is for bread/toast!

Only if you have got clotted cream to go on the bread or toast :laugh:

I'm the reverse. Butter is an adequate substitute for the clotted cream IMHO - or I could do without. The jam is essential though.

My grandfather, the learned fellow, regular explained two important life lessons:
1. You can never have too much cream
2. Cream and ice cream work well together. None of this either or nonsense.

Surely the cream and ice cream have to be separate though otherwise the ice cream could cause the cream to crystallise? If served in a bowl this would likely prove impossible, although I could see it working on a plate.

Ice cream and custard is a winner, hot and cold in desserts is tried and tested, although I have a friend that will only eat cold with cold or hot with hot, which I never understand.

Depends what you are comparing it to. I'll grant you, it is less dry than sand in the Atacama.

Lord, bless this man with a succulent scone, for he hath only received unmoist pastries 🙏
