Suomesta ei hyytynytt\u00e4 kermaa saa valmiina, toisin kuin Englannissa, mutta sit\u00e4 voi tehd\u00e4 itse. Periaatteessa valmistaminen ei ole vaikeaa, se vain on tosi hidasta. Ohjeet t\u00e4ss\u00e4:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Hyytynyt kerma \/ Clotted cream<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n2-3 purkillista kermaa (<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>ei UHT)<\/strong><\/span> tai<br \/>\n4-6 dl raakakermaa suoraan maidontuottajalta<\/p>\n<p>Kaada kerma syv\u00e4laitaiseen uunivuokaan.

Netti on t\u00e4ynn\u00e4 sopivia skonssireseptej\u00e4, englantilaiset tosin k\u00e4ytt\u00e4v\u00e4t yleens\u00e4 ns. itse-kohoavia jauhoja <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>(self-raising flour)<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0jossa on nostatusaine valmiina mukana. T\u00e4m\u00e4 resepti on sovellettu suomalaisille jauhoille. Sekaan voi laittaa my\u00f6s kuivattuja marjoja tai hedelmi\u00e4, lorauksen sitruunamehua tai muita mausteita kuten kanelia. T\u00e4m\u00e4 resepti on kuitenkin se kaikkein tyypillisin, ilman mit\u00e4\u00e4n lis\u00e4kkeit\u00e4.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Skonssit<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n7 dl vehn\u00e4jauhoja<br \/>\n2 tl leivinjauhetta<br \/>\n(1\/3 tl\u00a0suolaa)<br \/>\n100 g voita huoneenl\u00e4mp\u00f6isen\u00e4<br \/>\n4 rkl sokeria<br \/>\n2,5 dl maitoa<\/p>\n<p>Laita uuni kuumenemaan 225 asteeseen.<br \/>\nSekoita kulhossa jauhot, leivinjauhe ja suola.

Seoksen pit\u00e4isi olla koostumukseltaan pehme\u00e4\u00e4 ja tarttuvaa. Lis\u00e4\u00e4 tarvittaessa v\u00e4h\u00e4n jauhoja tai maitoa koostumuksen korjaamiseksi.<\/p>\n<p>Siirr\u00e4 taikina\u00a0jauhotetulle ty\u00f6tasolle. Kauli tai taputtele siit\u00e4\u00a0noin 2 cm paksuinen levy. Ota py\u00f6re\u00e4 muotti jonka halkaisija on noin 5 cm ja painele taikinasta py\u00f6ryl\u00f6it\u00e4. Voit k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 my\u00f6s kahvikuppia tai juomalasia muottina. Kokoa taikinan rippeet ja muotoile niist\u00e4 uusi tasainen levy. Tee n\u00e4in uudestaan kunnes koko taikina on k\u00e4ytetty.<\/p>\n<p>Siirr\u00e4 skonssit uunipellille, (ripottele niiden p\u00e4\u00e4lle v\u00e4h\u00e4n jauhoja) ja paista ne uunin keskiosassa noin 10-15 minuuttia, tai kunnes ne ovat kohonneet ja paistuneet kullanruskeiksi. Taikina riitt\u00e4\u00e4 10-18 pieneen skonssiin, eli noin yhteen pellilliseen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Skonssit ovat parhaimmillaan\u00a0vastaleivottuina. Niiss\u00e4 ei ole juuri lainkaan sitkoa, joten ne\u00a0kuivettuvat parissa p\u00e4iv\u00e4ss\u00e4. Tyk\u00e4styin skonsseihin koska ne muistuttavat paljon lapsuuteni herkkua, hillopullia. Skonssi siis halkaistaan, pohjan\u00a0p\u00e4\u00e4lle levitet\u00e4\u00e4n hilloa ja hyytynytt\u00e4 kermaa ja painetaan &#8220;kansi&#8221; p\u00e4\u00e4lle. Englantilaiset kiistelev\u00e4t alituiseen siit\u00e4 tuleeko hillo levitt\u00e4\u00e4 kerman alle vai p\u00e4\u00e4lle. Skonssien kanssa nautittava hillo on vapaavalintainen mutta Englannissa useinmiten se on mansikkahilloa tai vadelmahilloa. Ja jos hyytyneen kerman valmistaminen tuntuu liian aikaaviev\u00e4lt\u00e4, voi sen toki korvata kermavaahdolla kuten min\u00e4 t\u00e4ll\u00e4 kertaa tein. Maku ja koostumus tosin on erilainen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/inenglish.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7004\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/inenglish.gif?resize=214%2C100\" alt=\"inenglish\" width=\"214\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I think I promised couple years ago at\u00a0Christmas, when I got the Downton Abbey book as a prezzie, to make posts about the recipes in the book. I thought I&#8217;d start from the easy ones and what easier than scones for cream tea. I have made them already couple times, but always forgot to post about them. But let&#8217;s start with something even easier to make. I was rather surprised to hear that clotted cream is easy to make at home. Here in Finland you can&#8217;t buy clotted cream, so only way to get it is to make it yourself. I found the recipe online:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Clotted cream<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n2-3 cartons of cream<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong> (not ultra pasteurized)<\/strong> <\/span>or<br \/>\n4-6 deciliters of raw cream directly from the farm<\/p>\n<p>Pour cream into high edged oven dish, <span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>cover with lid<\/strong><\/span>. Heat oven to 82-82 Celcius and put cream in for 8-12 hours. Allow to set without stirring. Then allow to cool down in room temperature without breaking the skin. After it&#8217;s cooled down, put in fridge for another 8 hours. When it&#8217;s set you can peel the clotted cream into a glass jar. Liquid cream on the bottom you can use for cooking or baking. Store clotted cream 3-4 days at most.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I think clotted cream is best on scones, but you can also use it for cooking. Add it to potato mash or omelet. Spread ontop of toast or use to replace ice cream or whipped cream on your dessert. But, while the clotted cream is setting in the fridge, you can make scones. There are plentitude of good scone recipes online. However\u00a0they are often using self-raising flours, which are not available here in Finland. This recipe is adjusted for finnish non-raising flour, but feel free to replace that and baking powder\u00a0with self-raising flour. You can also add raisins,\u00a0dried berries, splash of lemon juice or other flavourings like cinnamon. However, as far as I understand, this plain recipe is the most traditional one.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Scones<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n7 dl of wheat flour<br \/>\n2 tea spoons of\u00a0 baking powder<br \/>\n(1\/3 tea spoon of\u00a0salt)<br \/>\n100 g\u00a0butter, room temperature<br \/>\n4 table spoons of\u00a0 sugar<br \/>\n2,5 dl of milk<\/p>\n<p>Preheat oven into\u00a0225-230 degrees.<br \/>\nMix\u00a0flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Use your fingers to rub\u00a0in the butter, continue until crumb-like consistency. Mix in the sugar. Add milk while stirring with wooden fork or your hand. Dough should be quite soft and little sticky. Add little bit of flour or milk if needed. Handle the dough as little as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Flour your hands and place the dough on floured table. Tap or roll into about 2 cm <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>(about an inch)<\/strong><\/span> thick sheet of dough. Take your round pastry mold and cut as many scones as you can. You can also use cup or drinking glass\u00a0as a mold. Collect the rest of the dough, make another ball and roll it into sheet again. Repeat as long as all dough is used.<\/p>\n<p>Put your scones on to the oven pan <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>(floured or with baking sheet)<\/strong><\/span>, sprinkle some flour ontop and bake in the middle of the oven about 10-15 minutes or as long as they have raised and are golden brown. There is enough for about 10-18 little scones, basically enough for one baking\u00a0pan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Scones are best freshly baked. They dry rather quick, so it&#8217;s best to eat them soon after baking. I like scones because they are similar to my childhood treats, jam buns. So you cut the scone in half, spread some jam and clotted cream on the bottom half, place the top half on it and that&#8217;s it. Use jam of your liking, allthough in England it&#8217;s most often strawberry or raspberry. They also have this ongoing argument is the jam supposed to be under or ontop of the cream. If clotted cream is too timeconsuming for you, you can replace it with whipped cream. Allthough flavour and texture is quite\u00a0different.<\/p>\n<p>In Finland <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>(and Sweden)<\/strong> <\/span>we have this traditional treat called &#8220;Laskiaispulla&#8221;, which is basically soft sweet bun, cut in half and filled with either almond paste or fruit jam and topped with whipped cream.\u00a0It is served once a year during the time just before Eastern lent, especially on Shrove Tuesday. Tradition came to Finland from Sweden in the 1950&#8217;s. Scones are very similar to the Laskiaispulla, so this is the perfect time to make them too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/skonssit1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12497\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/skonssit1.jpg?resize=600%2C430\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/skonssit1.jpg?w=600 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/skonssit1.jpg?resize=150%2C108 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/skonssit1.jpg?resize=300%2C215 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/skonssit2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12498\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/skonssit2.jpg?resize=600%2C900\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/skonssit2.jpg?w=600 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/skonssit2.jpg?resize=133%2C200 133w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/skonssit2.jpg?resize=200%2C300 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muistaakseni lupasin toissajoulun tienoilla, kun sain joululahjaksi Downton Abbey-kirjan, ett\u00e4 palaan asiaan kunhan olen testannut muutamia reseptej\u00e4.
