Traditional English Tea Time Scones With Jam and Cream, Eat these hot, split & spread with fresh churned butter, fresh cream and homemade jam, preferably strawberry not forgetting to lick your fingers afterwards – discreetly! These always made an appearance on my Mum and Grandmother’s Afternoon Tea Table it’s simply expected my dear! You can also add dried fruit to these to make traditional fruit scones, such as sultanas, currants and raisins; I have added that option in the recipe The traditional English Cream Tea is very popular in the South West of England, especially in Devon and Cornwall – there you will be offered a pot of tea with fluffy warm scones, butter, cream and strawberry jam In Devon, you will be served double Devon cream and in Cornwall, you will be offered clotted cream thats the main difference , Wow Tartlette, what a great recipe I can’t believe that’s it taken me this long to try it I knew that it would be great, I just didn’t realize that it would be this amazing Made as written and wouldn’t change a thing The texture was perfect, crunchy and crispy on the outside and tender and delicious on the inside Simply perfect served with butter, whipped cream and homemade freezer jam Love this, it’s going into my favorites Cookbook for 2018 Kudos my friend Made for What’s on the Menu Tag Game
