š§ Scones, Jam & Cream: The Most Delicious Debate
Thereās something truly magical about that first bite of a warm sconeāespecially when itās paired with clotted cream, preserves, and a freshly steeped pot of tea.
At A Steep In Time, our scones are more than a treatātheyāre a ritual, a conversation starter, and (letās be honest) sometimes the reason you came in the first place.
But letās settle the question that has divided tea tables for centuries...
š Cream First or Jam First?
This age-old question stirs up some serious opinions:
In Devon, itās cream first, topped with jam.
In Cornwall, itās jam first, with cream on top.
Here? We say: do what brings you joy.We serve our scones warm, with both cream and jam on the sideāso you can craft your perfect bite, however you like it.
š Whatās in a Scone?
We keep it simple and delicious:
Classic scones, golden and lightly sweet
Served with fruit preserves and rich clotted cream
Gluten-freeĀ scones availableājust as tasty, just as beautiful
Soft on the inside with just a hint of crisp on the edgeāour scones are beloved for a reason.
