Does custard go with scones?

I think most scones would be a bit too dense to absorb the custard for
the ultimate solid-liquid interface.

Custard doughnuts are quite nice though.

Scones need clotted cream and jam.

Jam first, then cream?
Or cream first, then jam?

And of course is it said scone to rhyme with "bone", or scone to rhyme
with "gone"?
My money's on the first...and as for cream/jam, it's cream first, then
jam.
Mmm cream teas...

In my house, 'scone' rhymes (more or less) with 'gone'.
Unless it's a Proper Name, when it rhymes with 'Goon'.

And I surveyed the family - all of us insist on jam first, then cream...
