Our Famous 'CCT'
In Cornwall, the cream tea was traditionally served with a “Cornish split”, a type of slightly sweet whitebread roll, rather than a scone.[6]. The warm roll (or scone) should first be buttered, then spread with strawberry jam, and finally topped with a spoonful of Cornish clotted cream.[5]
Another variation to a cream tea is called “Thunder and Lightning” which consists of a round of bread, topped with clotted cream and golden syrup, honey or treacle.
