Hey pals 🖖😁, been dabbling in scone-making and wondered about their traditional consumption. From what I gather, they're a staple in British tea time 🍵, often split open, then slathered with clotted cream and jam 🧉🤤. Strikes me as quite the treat. Yet, does anyone delve into more authentic experiences? Like specific jams or rituals? Spill your scone secrets! 🤣✨
