Proper Job!

Is it jam first or cream (that is clotted)?
If it's cream first, of course, you'll have spotted
These are scones made in heaven:
Cream first, as in Devon.
With strawberry jam they're topknotted.

We may be in Lincolnshire but that doesn't stop us feeding the troops Devonshire-style. In Devon, clotted cream goes under the jam (in place of butter - it's logical), whereas in Cornwall, it's jam first with cream on top. As Mr PP is a Devonshire man, of course, we prepare them the proper way. "Proper job!"  as they say in Devon!
