Cornish Recipes > Cornish Clotted Cream Tea
Cornish clotted cream has traditionally had many uses. It can be used as a substitute for butter and served with vegetables; it can be used in mashed potatoes, in pasties, on ice cream or as the only fat content when making a cake. Clotted cream is the thickest of all the creams and so lends itself to spreading rather than pouring as with single or double cream. Unlike whipped or aerosol cream, clotted cream holds its shape and will sit happily on junket, cakes and scones for several hours before serving without separating or becoming liquid.
If you want to try a making a cream tea in America visit Gourmet Food Store to buy British Double Devon Cream, which is another name for Clotted Cream. Make some scones, choose your favorite jam, make a pot of tea and hey presto you have yourself a Cornish Clotted Cream Tea!

Yes, when I was growing up in the village we always used to have splits fresh from the bakers with jam and cream (no butter). Not sure where the idea of scones as a traditional part of the cream tea came from although I think that may be more of an upcountry thing.We always made what we call powder buns rather than scones.
When I was a child we had splits,jam and cream.
