Line 46:
Scones are rarely buttered in commercially available teas. Traditionally it is important that the scones be warm (ideally, freshly baked), and that clotted (rather than whipped) cream and strawberry jam, rather than any other variety, are used. Butter is generally not included, and some sources advise that the tea should not be served with milk.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A649235|title=h2g2 – Cream Teas – Edited Entry|author=Not Panicking Ltd|date=20 October 2015|work=bbc.co.uk}}</ref>
 
In [[Devon]], an alternative to the scone found occasionally is the "Devon split" or "Chudleigh", lighter than a scone and smaller than a Cornish split.<ref>[http://www.missfoodwise.com/2013/04/cornish-splits-some-very-exciting-news-and-a-thank-you.html/ "Cornish Splits, some very exciting news and a thank-you", ''Regula Ysewijn'', 16 April 2013].

Another variation to a cream tea is called "Thunder and Lightning", which consists of a round of bread, topped with clotted cream and [[honey]].<ref name="nytimes" />
