Old Style Afternoon Tea Party

babyshoes

Rice crispy treats are cheap, easy, not too messy to eat and ok for most kids.

Just melt marshmallows with a blob of butter in a large pot over a medium to low heat, then stir in rice crispys (value ones are fine!) until you can't get any more to stir in. Turn out into a lightly greased tray and press down firmly with a lightly greased spatula or knife.

I would use disposable foil trays for something like this. Add any toppings you fancy such as M&Ms, chocolate melted and drizzled artistically, sweeties etc. (Chewy toffee doesn't work, I have tried it!)

When set, or when you arrive at the party, cut into smallish squares and enjoy.

They sell clotted cream in Coles, not the Cornish variety, but it is very good.

Hi happierdaystocome.

I could be completely wrong, (sorry if I am ) but I have aways believed that fifteens is a recipe that originated in Northern Ireland and that the recipe in this thread is the one that Prince William enjoys.

Pixie Coles or Woolies will have thick cream that would be suitable for your scones!
Enjoy your celebrations! I'll be watching them too!

clotted cream to me just tastes like normal cream with a load of butter in.. so maybe try that.. its very sickly

To be honest, we just soak the thinly sliced veg in ordinary malt vinegar overnight (separately). I usually add a couple of spoonfuls of sugar to the onion to take away the sharpness. HTH

Hi

I also add some herbs and black pepper to the onion and they taste like they've been pickled. Very tasty.

Pixie lives in Australia

It would be fab though if you could get it sent over as we are planning on moving to Australia later this year... mmmmm scones, jam and clotted cream - yummy.

If you whip some double cream, it'd probably be a good approximation.
