Cream Tea is a traditional British afternoon tea that typically consists of scones served with clotted cream and jam, accompanied by a pot of tea. The scones are often freshly baked and can be plain or flavored with fruits like raisins or currants.
This delightful treat is especially popular in the South West of England, particularly in Cornwall and Devon, where there are regional variations in how the cream and jam are served. In Cornwall, the jam is spread first, followed by the clotted cream, while in Devon, the order is reversed.
