Do you have a recipe for clotted cream that you use???

Have to take advantage of this lovely weather and get out there.<br /><br />Primrose Cottage is a wonderful Devonshire tea room and just about 30 mins. from my home. I've been there many times. Lustleigh is a truly picturesque village - anyone traveling through Devon should try to go there - it's close to Dartmoor also.<br /><br />While at school, I worked Saturdays in a dairy shop where I was known as "the Devonshire Cream girl"!! I served it from a huge bowl, spooning it into tubs for takeaway and also into mailing cans for tourists to mail to friends all over the UK. I always got to lick the bowl at closing time......gorgeous cream in those days.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244312641135825556.post-9646174632843817612010-04-16T16:11:03.751-04:002010-04-16T16:11:03.751-04:00So tempting!So tempting!nannykimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904490730187017812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244312641135825556.post-57136096519182620332010-04-15T20:54:38.880-04:002010-04-15T20:54:38.880-04:00The cream tea looks so yummy!

I prefer to have a dollop on top of the jam myself but either way is yummy.<br />JudithJudith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244312641135825556.post-33461021854108874202010-04-13T06:40:17.904-04:002010-04-13T06:40:17.904-04:00What a wonderful post!

In my husband's family afternoon tea is quite simple as well. They have small tea glasses they use rather than the traditional tea cup we know. The tea is strong and is severed with sugar, never cream. The first time I poured milk in my tea I thought he would gag! Biscuits (cookies) are always served with the tea. Tea is typically served around 4 or when you visit friends or family in the afternoon. My husband is from Lebanon.Jojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843762553010099404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244312641135825556.post-90290608071885705632010-04-13T05:45:58.879-04:002010-04-13T05:45:58.879-04:00Oh Rhonda, thanks for sharing this wonderful post ...Oh Rhonda, thanks for sharing this wonderful post and now you make me crave for some cream tea too! and going to the country side, always a lovely place to visit.. especially when they have beautiful sceneries to enjoy!<br /><br />Have a good week!<br />xo<br />fittyfitty's pinky rose cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137865901642424737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244312641135825556.post-40588769720393405232010-04-13T03:40:37.946-04:002010-04-13T03:40:37.946-04:00You have posted about a palce I have never been to...You have posted about a palce I have never been to but is my list of places to see when we next go the UK!

Over here we call this a "Devonshire Tea" - Tea (or coffee for those who prefer, but traditionally with tea, served with hot scones, jam and cream. I secretly love to eat them with melting butter rather than cream...mmmmm.... You can order them in lots of small cafes, but the nices ones are the ones you make yourself. Which is so funny to read your post this afternoon because my son asked me this morning, "Mummy can you have some scones ready for us when we get home from school this afternoon". I was just about to make a start and then saw your post. I think I will make it really special for them now.
