You may have been aware that I have been searching for a recipe 'Cut Rounds' which are Devonshire Scones and served with clotted cream and jam - just so yummy.
I had watched a programme on TV called 'Edwardian Farm' and the 'cut rounds' were featured. Well I searched high and low and eventaully decided to email the chef at The Grand Hotel in Torquay. He very kindly shared the recipe with me. I have made them and they are just perfect. IF you want something badly enough just keep on trying.

I've only ever made Drop Scones, so I'll have to give this a try. No such thing as clotted cream over here, but there are substitutes and I can always just use whipped cream.
Oh, thank you so much for finding and sharing this recipe..
I watched Victorian Farm which was filmed in the UK and loved it.
I will be trying these out for Sunday supper...
God Bless...
Sounds yummy! Thanks for the recipe.
