The warm climate of Cornwall produces tender young vegetables earlier than other parts of the U.K. For a luxury touch, use clotted cream instead of double cream. Dress the potatoes while still warm, even if you are serving them cold, as this allows the flavours to be absorbed.
While visiting family in England we went shopping at Tesco and picked up this recipe. I have never made it but my mom has and it always comes out yummy! Can’t wait to try these myself.
This is a yummy version of cornish pasties from the Golden Bee restaurant; note that it calls for small eggs.
After living in the UK and rightfully becoming a scone, jam and clotted cream addict… I had to learn how to make Cornish cream at home. How hard could it be? Well… harder than you would think, for all the wrong reasons. It seems that finding the right cream is the real challenge. The best Cornish cream is made from fresh, unpasteurized, cream. In our ultra-pasteurized world, it is next to impossible to find unless you have a diary farmer tucked into your list of bff’s. To further complicate things, I now live in the Netherlands. One would think that with all of the cows here (happiest cows on earth) it would be easier. No, no no no. Think again. So, I have modified, and tweeked a bit here and there to create clotted cream that is still a little piece of heaven on earth. That being said, if you can get your hands on unpasteurized cream to make this recipe, by all means use it! Also consider smuggling me some 🙂
