Cream Tea Cakes

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. Here's a Lake District recipe for "Upland's Biscuits"."
