Jam first of course, so you can properly spread it. Oh you people, I want a cream tea now! Must source clotted cream.1

It rhymes with " scon" otherwise the "what's the fastest cake in the world?" joke doesn't work3 -

It's clotted cream. Yum.
Clotted is such an...appetizing word...
Agreed. Sounds dreadful, tastes dreamy.1 -

Got it.
Y'all need to start deep frying stuff.
It's not a biscuit it's a cake ... Well it's not really a cake but it's not a biscuit ...it's a cakey biscuit
And a biscuit is a cookie anyway
Why on earth you'd cover it in gravy is beyond me1 -
Cream first then Jam! And a huge mug of sweet tea to go with it!0

Also don't come over all y'all on us...you know we have a soft spot for that kind of thing0

And jam first always. Heathens.
Ok...do Americans just call them English muffins or they totally different things? Or are English muffins even a thing in England?

Go to Scotland. Deep fry all of the things there, including meat pies, Mars bars and pizza. I'm Scottish now living in England where they don't deep fry as many things. Fried food is delicious.
A scone with ice cream would be terrible, the texture of a scone is quite uniquely suited to jam and clotted cream. I'm not a cream fan generally but clotted? Give me a spoon!
I knew I liked Scotland.
How about Oreos? Deep fried Oreos are like manna from heaven.0 -

Totally different. We call them English muffins now too (because of your American muffin invasion some time back). English muffins are bread. Scones are more cake.0 -
Ahh the great muffin invasion....2

those are muffins.
American wording for fancy fairy cakes with loads of topping has confused us all.1 -

No no no no...y'all may have invented the language but he with the tastiest food makes the rules.
A cookie is a cookie. A biscuit is a heavy, savory bread, excellent with butter, jam or gravy.
And the gravy isn't a meat gravy. It's milk, flour and bacon grease simmered until thick. And it's delicious (especially if you mix ground sausage into it).2 -

I did know of a local chippy (fish and chip shop) that would fry any cocolate bar you wanted, so I imagine there is somewhere doing Oreos. Been a while since I've been up there and we're relatively new to Oreos over here.0 -

I love the old English measurements. They actually meant something. Did you know one inch is three corn kernels side to side?0
-
I don't think I've ever had a deep fried chocolate bar or oreo! Is that bad? xD
P.S. The y'all thing is pretty adorable :P0 -

So totally different texture or just sweeter?
And admit it, you're glad the American blueberry muffin made it across the water.
(Now you just need southern sweet cornbread muffins).0 -

I had a deep fried Creme Egg once in Dundee, it was so grossly gooey
I've also had deep fried pizza and deep fried macaroni pie from a chip shop in Alness. The pie is fab but the pizza is just greasy.
As for scones...butter then jam! Clotted cream is rank0 -

Lol who got scone from STONE?1

Totally different texture. An English muffin is quite a light, bready texture. A scone is denser and cake like with a distinct flouryness. Not dissimilar to an American biscuit really in texture but again, I think more floury. It's been a while since I had one of y'all's biscuits.0 -

Nope different recipes
A cupcake is a Madeira or Victoria sponge style recipe eg equal butter, flour, sugar and half eggs (8oz, 8oz, 8oz, 4 eggs) beaten and a muffin recipe isn't that it's like 9oz flour, 4oz sugar, 1 egg and flavourings and you can't over stir it

So this is random but do y'all have dinner rolls? Or is that an American thing?
I honestly didn't even realize until now that biscuits of the non-cookie variety aren't a thing in the UK.0
