And all this time I thought these were scones with clotted cream and jam… 😉
me too
That’s what Michael explained below. And does it really matter? Put jam and sweet cream on ANYTHING, and you have Heaven.
so true
You are strong enough to resist the siren call, DK. Dig deep….
Siren is wailing, yet, it seems muffled and distant. I have a snow shovel and it doesn’t dig deep.
Love this quote, pal, and can certainly relate… 🙂
Now that’s a snack….
It is!
can i get an ‘amen!?’
You may!
Wrong on at least three counts. 1. Scone not “sweet cream biscuit”, who the hell wants one of hose? 2. Clotted cream not Earl Grey whipped cream. What is that, it not an attempt top charge more for something you don’t want or need? 3. Worst of all: Strawberry jam please. Nothing else passes muster.
For goodness sake, get a grip man. If you are going to self indulge, always go with the classics. And if in doubt, dig out a British recipe book.

What the h*ll is clotted cream? Sounds nasty.
Scone? Yes. Jam? … Strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, black currant, boysenberry, tayberry, plum, … all good from a colonial’s perspective. Clotted cream vs. Whipped?…it’s cream so it has to be good (for you). Put together? ….HEAVEN … Amen. Reminds me of my Nana’s house, always filled with delicious aromas of baking.
I’m salivating!
“Clotted cream (sometimes called scalded, clouted, Devonshire or Cornish cream) is a thick cream made by indirectly heating full-cream cow’s milk using steam or a water bath and then leaving it in shallow pans to cool slowly. During this time, the cream content rises to the surface and forms ‘clots’ or ‘clouts’. It forms an essential part of a cream tea.”
Wow. Sounds nasty. All of it.
You must be kidding. Yesterday’s run…all for nothing?
And therein lies the paradox! 🙂
You can look all you want. Just don’t touch.
And therein lies the challenge!
I’m just glad I have the willpower to pass this up whether it is clotted cream or earl grey cream. But it sure does look yummy 🙂
Tina, you play at a higher level of discipline. So much higher.
Mm… very nice! 🙂 We call them scones in the UK, (and of course our biscuits are cookies!) Having cream and jam makes with them makes it ‘A Cream Tea’ served in a café/restaurant it’s usually accompanied by a pot of tea, and often the cream is a much richer ‘clotted cream’ pale yellow in colour. Funny thing is I actually had some of these just the other day on a day out at the beach – delicious treat on a sunny afternoon with sea air!
Her recipe is different to what I would have expected, using cream, instead of butter. And it’s interesting that she said they don’t keep for more than a day, which is true, but not if you make them with butter, the more butter you use, kept in air tight container in a cool place, they will keep a week easily and will get softer, not harder. But as usual with all that buttery deliciousness, not slimming at all!! 😉
Thanks for sharing. You had me transported as I was reading your comments. And “buttery deliciousness” – I’m drooling!
