what is a devonshire split

A Devonshire split is a traditional British dessert that consists of small buns filled with fresh cream and homemade jam. It is made with simple pantry ingredients such as flour, sugar, yeast, butter, and milk. The dough is shaped into small buns and baked, then filled with jam and cream and dusted with powdered sugar. The recipe typically calls for plain flour, milk, yeast, and neutral oil for the baking sheets and proving. Devonshire splits are a great alternative to scones for afternoon tea.
