Of Scottish origin, these tea biscuits are richer than ordinary
biscuits due to the addition of eggs and cream. Warm scones
are traditionally served after the tea sandwiches, accompanied
by jams and whipped Devon cream. In this case, French creme
fraiche, a slightly tangy thickened cream, is used in place
of the Devon. Bake the scones just prior to serving to ensure
their tenderness.

Welsh Rarebit It is a constant in cooking that
even the simplest food is splendid when the recipe is honest
and the ingredients are select. A venerated cheese dish, Welsh
rarebit is perhaps rightly dubbed Welsh rabbit, since older
French references call it lapin gallois. Paired here with a
light salad, it makes a wonderful buffet
dinner. |
