The cream is a wonderfully thick, yellowish reduction named "clotted cream" sometimes available imported in glass jars at trendy gourmet food markets. Here's a Lake District recipe for "Upland's Biscuits".

My father and grandparents were born in Czechoslovakia. I use to watch my grandmother make these small pastries at Christmas time and I couldn't wait to eat them when she was all done. I do hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I do. You will need a large area to work.
