Traditional Cornish Cream Tea Assembly

Cut a warm scone in half.

CRITICAL STEP: In Cornwall, you MUST spread the strawberry jam first onto each half of the scone.

Place a generous dollop of clotted cream on top of the jam.

The jam stays 'under' the cream in this method.

Never join the halves; enjoy them as two separate open-faced treats.

Serve with a hot pot of tea.

This is the source of a friendly but fierce rivalry with Devon (who do cream first).
