I'd like to take this time to reiterate my sentiments from last March 23, in
respect to the proportions of butter and jelly that are typically used on
scones, muffins etc. Many people these days tend to use little butter and
mucho jelly. This may be healthy, but doing the opposite (mucho butter and
little jelly) is something special and cool.

You won't find me disagreeing with you. My favorite way to eat any sort
of bread (including scones, muffins, etc.) is to have the butter dish in
front of me, take a hit of butter, put it on the bite I'm about to eat,
and repeat. I can go through quite a bit of butter with a single piece
of bread this way and it makes me very happy.

Your approach might be different, but I don't think you're disagreeing
if you end up going through a lot of butter with a single slice of
bread.

Good Food.
Good Friends.

I do that sometimes when I eat waffles (waffles with either maple syrup or
honey). It's a guilty pleasure.

For scones try a small amount of butter and jam
and piled high with whipped real cream.

Clotted cream - even better. Clotted cream is somewhere between whipped
cream and butter according to my taste.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clotted_cream - scroll down to the section
"cream tea." Well, read the whole thing if you like, too.

Clotted cream is better, but not readily available.
Whipped cream is still very good.

Fair enough, for the US - I think it's widely available in the UK -
anyone? - and I think here in the US, one can get it regularly at either
Fairways or Whole Foods.

Yes; it's a regional speciality from SW England, sold in many
supermarkets. Very expensive compared to double cream.

The best, butteriest English muffins I ever ate were at our college
student center, knife split, buttered and cooked with weights on the
buttered solid grill. They only served them till the same grill was
used for burgers later in the morning to avoid co-mingling the fats.
Three halves with a little cup of grape jelly for 15 cents. Coffee was
10 cents as I remember. Yes, it was a LONG time ago, in the 60s. And
they were addictively delicious.

Weigh the muffins down and fry them in butter. Delicious.
