John and all, I did find several recipes online for Cornish Splits made with yeast. I plan to make them for a New Years Cornish meal for my husband and myself. I think it will be nice to have something different and we will celebrate my husband's Cornish ancestry while doing it. I am putting together a Webb and Peeso book (his mother's lines) and hope to have it ready by Jan. to share with the relatives who descended from these two lines.

Thank you for getting the ball rolling with a story about your memories Jan! Someone had to start the tales of Christmas / family stories / tales of your ancestors, and that is a lovely start from Jan in San Diego! Meanwhile, we've just got back home (in even worse wind and rain) from the Cornish Carols at St Ive Chapel... and for those who are wondering, that is the correct spelling, and the chapel is at St Ive near Liskeard (in East Cornwall) and not St Ives in West Cornwall. I recorded the whole of the service, and I'll try and get some clips from it onto the Kowethas web site (this is the Cornish Language Fellowship, and I'll post a link if we get it sorted for you). And we had a lovely tea afterwards, but sadly no Cornish splits, although the Saffron Cake was lovely! So to get the taste buds going, this is what splits are: Either a scone (this is a rather dry tasting small cake or bun made with bicarb or raising powder) or - preferably - a small yeast bun, split open while warm, and served with strawberry jam and a big dollop of clotted cream - if you tear the bun open (instead of cutting it) the jam and cream really soak into the bun and you don't need butter. Yum Yum! If you can't get proper clotted cream where you are, then whip up double cream until it is nice and stiff, but it won't have the sort of lovely rich buttery flavour that proper Cornish Clotted Cream has. John and Anna in wet and windy Cornwall (where we really needed that lighthouse so that I could find the car in the pitch black of the Cornish countryside tonight). Lorna - where were you?

Hi Grace, You do realise we'll all be round for New Year's don't you? How many can you seat for a proper Cornish tea? Have fun!!!!
