Anyone For A High Tea?

Ok, even though the title almost gives it away, what am I posting today?

Perhaps this little party will enlighten you on it…

*****************************************************************************

N.B. British accents must be taken if speaking this dialogue out loud

Devonshire, England

“Oh, Lord Grey, what an unexpected surprise! Take his coat, Jamieson, immediately!”

“Yes, ‘m”

“Frightful weather m’dear, absolutely awful. I dare say I am drenched to the bone and am a forced imposition on you.”

“Oh poppycock! – Harold, come into the parlour please”

hightea 4
“Of course darling, here I am – Why, hello old chap! Blooming rotten luck getting caught in this downpour, ay? Nothing like a cuppa to warm you up though! Mildred, would you be a dear?”

“Not at all, you stay right put in the drawing room Lord Grey, I won’t be a minute! I say Harold, get Betty to light the fire will you?”

7 minutes later

“… I dare say it was just not cricket when -”

hightea 11

“My apologies for interrupting Ma’am but where may I place the tea tray?”

“On the side will do. Now you were saying Lord Grey…”

Lord Grey slathers some jam

“Well, to be brutality honest, what I was saying no longer upholds any importance in the slightest Mildred. This jam is exceptional on this. My Prunella will simply love to have the recipe of both!”

hightea 15
Mildred pinkens

“Of course sir, I shall tell Cook to write up the recipe immediately”

“Exceptional – And this cream, clotted to perfection, serves as such a delicious side. I am enjoying myself immensely!”

3 empty plates later…

“Right o’, best be off now, old chap. Would not want the missus to worry now would we?”

hightea 3
“Not for a long shot. Tally-ho and what not old chum.”

“Impeccable hospitality Mildred. I shall have Prunella call on you soon.”

“Thank you sir, you are most kind.”

Lord Grey leaves rather full and content

*****************************************************************************

Now surely it is obvious what I made today (photos, sides ;)). No, not jam or specially clotted cream. No, I had a small Devonshire tea party with my family today. I made scones 😀

hightea 12
Spiced Raisin SCONES

Served with mouth watering strawberry jam and vanilla whipped cream left over from a very special breakfast 😉

Scones are not simple – in fact that they are a lot harder than they look. An over kneaded dough and a pinch too little of baking powder can have you taking rocks out of the oven instead of soft, crumby melt in mouth wonders. Never fear, I am here to make sure that does not, will not, ever happen 😛

hightea 16
First up, I am sure you want the recipe. I have had this recipe for ages and finally, fi-na-llyyy, discovered where I found it over 3 years ago. I know, 3 yrs is huge!

This is the recipe. You are actually one click away from acquiring the best scone recipe in the world. No restaurant, cafe or bakery has produced more beautiful scones. Don’t believe me? Why don’t you try it out 😉

hightea 7
But, as you know, I have my own secrets. I like making things fluffy, soft and crumby and have done quite a bit of research into it – here is how I changed this recipe to make it a little zestier closer to the scone which should be knighted – I am not joking (notice the absence of a smiley)

  • Add 1 tsp of baking soda into the dry ingredients
  • Put 1 tsp of lemon juice with the wet ingredients – it reacts with the baking soda for a soft crumb and fluffier texture
  • This may sound a little crazy but TRIPLE-SIFT your dry ingredients – aerating is a baker’s best friend believe me 🙂
  • This may sound crazy too but use Self Raising Flour (SRF) AND 1 tbs of baking powder – can use more rise with me? If you do not have SRF, simply use the 1 tbs baking powder to 1 cup plain flour rule and add extra baking powder – works for me 🙂
  • To all healthy people, sorry but DO NOT use wholemeal flour as a sub – it does not aerate as well
    hightea 8
  • NEVER OVER-KNEAD, STIR ETC THE DOUGH – You know rock hard scones? That is how they begin!
  • Put scones together while baking – I don’t know if this is fiction or fact but apparently this makes them rise together well – no harm 😉
  • If you are using the rolling method, never roll out too thin
    hightea 14
  • If you are using (my) the moulding into shape method, make them small, round, fat balls for best shape
  • To all healthy people, DO use margarine if desired as there is actually no difference between that and butter
  • Use a variety of spices – only cinnamon is so out
  • You can use brown sugar too 🙂
  • I used craisins because I am to-tah-ly fashionable and a la mode with the foodie world 😛

hightea 9
So now you have:

  • Lord Grey’s experience
  • The Recipe
  • The Tips

and of course, a PRINTABLE RECIPE! (This is the original recipe from which I adapted these scones)

Do you really need any more of a push? Oh right, it took me 25 minutes in all, including baking time, so can you taste your afternoon tea (or lunch if you are like me?)

Enjoy your Devonshire tea m’dears 😉

hightea 13
And before I leave you, just a little note: I do not have any chocolate baking planned for, um, quite a while. *Waits to be hit by saucepans and rotten tomatoes*
Feeling calmer? But to make sure you all receive your daily (or um every three-four daily) dose of chocolate as part of a healthy blogger diet, I am posting up a link and pic of an exceptional chocolate dessert I may have seen on my foodie adventures.

Today I feature the marvellous Jasline @ Food Is My Life (mine too!) with her Chocolate, Mousse, Meringue & Blueberry Curd Layered Cake – excuse me? Where is my share? Honestly people these days 😉
Jokes Jasline, what a fabulous recipe!

hightea 156
Cheerio for now! I shall see you on the weekend after my history exam is ancient, my english exam has been satisfactorially executed et mon examen francais est finir!

    Scones are definitely hard to nail, but when they’re done right, they’re oh-so-delicious with that crumbly exterior and the fluffy interior. Now these look like they were made perfectly. If only I could grab one of these babies from the computer right now.

    I love scones but not the hockey puck version. This looks wonderful & perfect timing since I’ve had a craving for them lately. Recipe I’ve concocted from a couple different ones uses sour cream & a little bit of heavy cream in them but this will be my go to recipe. Thanks for the tips but did you forget to put a “pip-pip” in the dialogue?

    Hello, fellow chocolate lover. Watch the skies, err… I mean my LJ, for a future chocolate cheesecake post. Not quite as stunning as the cake with blueberry curd you posted the link to but it tastes pretty good.

    As to today’s scone recipe, I really wish I had more of a fondness for sweets over savouries. I have to give away most of the desserts I make. The savouries get given away as well but it’s easier to find a good home for sweet baked goods.

    I’ve never had clotted cream. Can one make something similar tasting in the home kitchen?

      And I did not make clotted cream at home due to its intensive method of preparation but simple whipped cream whose recipe is linked above – it happens in minutes and all you need is a kitchen mixer 🙂

    I really love everything about this post. I love how fun it was to read, the tips, the recipe, and on and on. But my favorite thing about it is the idea you’ve given me to do a tea party with my oldest granddaughter. She’s 7 and just LOVES to cook and wants to me teach her how to cook some things she can make for her mom, dad, and little brother. Your scones are on the list, and then she and I can have a tea party together to enjoy them, practicing our English accents. She will LOVE it, and so will I. Thank you!

    As I had just watched a video of Hugh Laurie (“House” farewell party), I was able to imagine him in your little scenario and thoroughly enjoyed it. You’re so clever with words. And with scones. I get so mad when bakeries and supermarkets here in the US slather scones with frosting or white sugar granules. The way you made them, the tops unadorned and served with clotted cream and jam, is the best! I’m going to grab hold of this recipe (with your adjustments) and never let go. I could say “good luck” with the exams, but I think you are so smart and well prepared that they’ll go well for you, CCU. See you after…

      And the tea mug set was handcrafted, being sold at a stall set up in our local shopping centre! I wish I knew more about the lady selling them, I found these over 3 yrs ago now – sorry 😦

      Just like me – wouldn’t a blogger high tea meet up be the bomb? 😀
      I am so glad you liked these, thank you! Spiced scones are my favourite, even over the traditional!
      Hehe overworking the scones has produced one too many rocks in the kitchen 😛

    We should do a swap! A scone of yours for a slice of cake of mine! 😉 Thanks for featuring, I’m glad you enjoyed the cake. The scones look so utterly soft, I made them once and they didn’t turn out very well… I’ll definitely take note of the hints you’ve provided the next time! 🙂

      And you poor thing – I have had it once at a real high tea – it takes and throttles whipped cream no joke 😉
      You must try some day (soon :P)

    I love this post! Living in Cornwall, I always makes scones for visitors and serve with (usually homemade) jam and Cornish cream. Yours look absolutely fabulous and make me want to make some today even though we have no visitors!!
    Thanks for the link to Food Is My Life – that cake looks amazing and I’ll be looking at ther blog. xx

        Meant to say _ Marmite and Red Onion scones. And, also inspired by your blog, I’ve started Food Pages so that I can post up more foodie stuff! Watch this space! By the way, I love your comments – they always make me feel good 🙂

        I am sure they would have tasted amazing – I have never even thought of savoury scones! It is definitely you, not I, who is inspiring for sure 🙂
        A Food Page sounds like fabulous idea – believe you me, I will be exploring it thoroughly 🙂
        And giving good comments is the only way to go my friend!

      I think a high tea fix is sometimes necessary – and I actually made normal whipped cream and dreamt it was clotted like they do in good ol’ England 😉

      Thank you 😀 – Nothing beats it right when it is cold and wet! And yeah, I think a proper British meal would be fish and chips followed by scones and tea 😉
      Have a great upcoming week!
