How to Make Devonshire Tea with Scones, Strawberry Jam and Clotted Cream (Authentic English Recipes Book 7) Kindle Edition

When I visited my sister in England, one of the things she insisted was that we go and have Tea, complete with Clotted cream.This wonderful (and very small) cookbook has instructions on something I was told was a highly controlled secret! How to make clotted cream. Since I have access to a dairy where I can purchase unpasteurized cream, I am in seventh heaven. As an added bonus, it has a wonderful recipe for freezer strawberry jam without pectin, and of course it gives wonderful instructions for making a good cup of tea. If you don't have a good recipe for scones already, this one is very nice.Even at 99 cents it's a bit pricy for the limited number of recipes, but given the rarity of the one, I do recommend it. Just a heads up, it takes several hours to make clotted cream.

Geoff Wells tasked the time to explain to you all about how Devonshire tea should be done. His explanations are detailed and easy to understand. I really enjoyed how he explained about the making of tea and the differences using loose tea, tea bags and a tea ball.If you are a tea drinker this us a good recipe book for you. 3 recipes are given one for scones, one for strawberry jam and lastly clotted cream. There is even recipes to use the instant pot to make these.

I will start by saying that I grew up in Devonshire England. After I got married I lived next door to a dairy who made and served clotted cream all day. I even owned a village shop in Devon selling clotted cream. I was not impressed with this book at all.The scone recipe is the same as hundreds of others. I have found that the best recipe for scones uses self raising flour. That way it doesn't dry your mouth the way the recipes do when so much baking powder is used. You get light fluffy scone with a delicious taste.The clotted cream recipe is so far from the real thing. Heavy whipping cream needs to be scolded. To scold it, you bring it to the boil slowly and keep it just off simmering for about an hour. Let it cool and refridgerate it overnight. You will get exactly the same results, a crusty top floating on cream. The hardest thing to do is to get the wet cream underneath the crust to become double thick cream. Then that gets mixed with the crust to serve on scones.I am so glad I only wasted 99 cents on this book.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this surprised me. It's very short, but it has everything I need to make the scones AND clotted cream I want! It even gives instructions for making the cream and strawberry jam (freezer type) in my Instant Pot, which I didn't realize when I ordered it. Some have criticized it for being so short but, really, it does exactly what it promises. Classic Devonshire-style scones, clotted cream and jam. I don't need any more than that!

I thoroughly enjoyed "How to make Devonshire Tea." I love tea; I love scones; I love the ceremony involved. When you know to take the teapot to the teakettle and use boiling water, it is frustrating to have someone serve you a cup of lukewarm water and a tea bag. The author also knows tea has to be brewed for "five" minutes to taste like tea. This is a very satisfying book. It contains directions and recipes and many other kinds of goodies to help make any tea delightful. Devonshire Tea, being a specific combination of dishes, is a most joyous way to handle a late afternoon slump. Thank you for such a helpful publication.

Wanted this book to learn how to bake up scones and do the devonshire cream with strawberry jam. When I was in London, England I had the devonshire cream and strawberry jam plus the creamed tea. Unfortunately I haven't baked my scones yet and I still need to read the book

...both as a child and now as a parent of two lovely daughters. So armed with first hand experience of the real thing, I thought I'd give Geoff's book a proper test! His methods of making the perfect cup of tea is 100% spot on - I've tried lemon in my tea, but there is no substitute for real milk, and proper leaf tea in a teapot - got to be done! None of the weak and feeble Liptons rubbish, it's got to be proper tea leaves with full flavour. Decent scones, with an easy to follow recipe? Check! (I added some pre-soaked sultanas to mine too). Had to chicken out of making the jam, as we've got some lovely homemade stuff from my neighbour, but I even made my own clotted cream using the incredibly simple method explained within this book - and it was incredible! All the times I've eaten it, I never realised it was cooked.A great little book, and definitely gets a thumbs up from this Englishman.

Too simple & not enough recipes to make this book worthwhile. But good to know how to make tea, scones and jam. The clotted cream recipe was inspiring. Thanks

A short book on the subject. It does what it says,tells you how to make a cream tea, though the clotted cream method described is more Cornish than Devonshire.

This little cookbook has really good recipes!

Fun little book to add to the kitchen.
