Traditional Devonshire Cream Tea Assembly

Cut a warm, fresh scone (or Devonshire Split) in half.

CRITICAL STEP: In Devon, you MUST spread a thick layer of clotted cream first onto each half.

Place a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream.

The cream acts like butter in this method.

NEVER sandwich the two halves back together; eat each half separately.

Serve with a hot pot of West Country tea.

This method is the opposite of the Cornish method (jam first).
