Things Cornish

[JonathanB]

Browzing through Elizabeth David's English Bread and Yeast Cookery I came across a recipe for Cornish Splits - flour, yeast, milk and sugar. Devonshire Chudleighs are described as the same ingredients, but made into smaller buns.

The recipe I'd like to try one day is for Cornish Saffron Cake, but it is best (according to Mrs David) eaten while still warm and I don't have a big enough household to make it worthwhile.

Edit: Splits with cream and treacle are described as "thunder and lightening". I seem to remember chudleighs with cream and honey so described.
