About Scone with jam and cream
Scones with jam and cream originate from the United Kingdom and are a staple in British afternoon tea. Scones are baked goods made from flour, butter, sugar, and milk or cream, often paired with fruit preserves and clotted or whipped cream. They are energy-dense and typically high in carbohydrates and fats due to their ingredients. A single serving (one scone with 1 tbsp of jam and 1 tbsp of cream) provides approximately 300-400 kcal, depending on the size and specific ingredients, along with small amounts of protein, calcium, and vitamin A. However, the sugar and fat content should be considered in daily intake planning.
Health Benefits
- Calcium from cream supports healthy bones and teeth.
- Jam made from whole fruits can provide small amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants.
- Scone dough contains trace amounts of B vitamins from refined or whole-grain flour, supporting energy metabolism.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store scones at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage. Avoid spreading jam or cream until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
Common Questions About Scone with jam and cream Nutrition
How many calories are in a scone with jam and cream?
A typical scone with jam and cream contains approximately 400-500 calories, depending on portion size and the amount of cream and jam used. This snack is relatively high in sugar and fat, making it a calorie-dense treat.
Can I eat a scone with jam and cream on a keto diet?
A traditional scone with jam and cream is not suitable for a keto diet due to its high carbohydrate content, mostly from the scone itself and the sugar in the jam. A keto-friendly version would require alternative ingredients like almond flour and sugar-free jam.
Are there health concerns with eating scones with jam and cream regularly?
Eating scones with jam and cream regularly may contribute to excessive calorie and sugar intake, potentially increasing the risk of weight gain and blood sugar spikes. Moderation is advised, and pairing them with a source of protein may help balance the meal.
How many scones with jam and cream should I serve per person?
One scone with jam and cream is typically considered a single serving and a reasonable portion for an individual, providing enough indulgence without excessive calories. Larger servings or multiple scones might significantly raise calorie intake.
How does a scone with jam and cream compare to other desserts like muffins or croissants?
Scones with jam and cream tend to have similar calorie content compared to muffins or croissants, but they are often higher in added sugar due to the jam. Muffins may have more fiber if made with whole grains, while croissants are typically higher in fat due to buttery layers.
