Absolutely not. We have two cafes, and we do both scones and custard, and
quite rightly, no one's ever asked for them on the same plate ...

I'd have to say yes, custard goes with scones, custard goes with anything
pastry and sweet - obviously not sausage rolls, but fruit pies and crumbles,
and any kind of cake, and I'd call a scone a type of cake

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.

Many years ago the talk of the queue in the works canteen was that
someone had just purchased a Cornish Pasty coated with custard. No
reports were heard regarding this gastronomic delight.

Oh, c'mon! Jam first, then cream on the jam.

Ideally, thin layer of jam on both cut surfaces of the scone, and
lashings of cream between!

Between? You don't mean you (shudder) re-assemble the scone?

BURN THE HERETIC!

If you do not re-assemble the scone which half do you eat first? The top or
bottom half of the scone?

I tried that - oddly enough it smells sort of OK, but tastes like a dog's
arse. Suppose that's why they like it. Next time I'll bet on cat food.

Don't even think about it

after Yullie accidentally trying some last year,I can confirm there is
better cuisine out there

Yep ! That's how we serve 'em ! Most of our customers like them hit with 30

I think I've come across some that needed an angle grinder or SDS to cut
them, and if I made them they would probably taste like car body filler
(and I don't even have any), pressure washer to clean the backing tray
with afterwards (I'll let someone else work out what you use the WD40
for).

Just to chuck a slightly new line of reasoning in ...

I asked the missus what she thought about this custard and scones thing, as
she makes and sells them every day in our caff. She reckons that it's a
perfectly valid combination. When I queried her as to why she thought this,
she said that you wouldn't think twice about having custard on a peach
cobbler, and the 'cake-y' bit of that is just a scone mix ...

Fair point I s'pose ?

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...

Not *quite* but basically ordinary custard thickened with cornflour
(creme patisserie).

AKA 'confectioners custard'.

However ordinary custard IS just cornflour and milk, plus a bit of dried
egg yolk, colouring and a hint of vanilla.

Proper home made custard is fresh eggs, *cream*, cornflour and real
vanilla.

Confectioners custard is that but using *ordinary* flour, milk, and
highly beaten eggs.

'Egg custard' is that minus the flour. I.e. sweet flavoured scrambled eggs.
