I keep busy with our baby daughter and helping my dad on his dairy farm. But when I have time-usually in the winter-I love to bake. I make these tea cakes every Christmas. I double the recipe and freeze half for later.

Cream Tea Cakes

Submitted by: Marc Boyer

"Cream cakes" are not a specific item, but a term that refers to a variety of goodies served at tea. Scones, cakes, buns, and biscuits may be spread with cream and/or jam. The cream is a wonderfully thick, yellowish reduction named "clotted cream" sometimes available imported in glass jars at trendy gourmet food markets.
