Highly acclaimed pastry chef Eric Lanlard, owner of Cakeboy Cookery School in London shares some great tips to enjoy an Afternoon Tea. As Chef for the Royal Ascot Afternoon Tea, Chef Lanlard prepared around 6,500 Afternoon Tea servings this season including 20,000 scones. Queen Anne founded Ascot Racecourse in 1711 and even stopped there often on her ride from Windsor for an Afternoon Tea before there was a racecourse. According to Chef Lanlard, a royal approach to prepare your scones is the Cornish way with jam first and then clotted cream on top. However, this remains a constant cuisine debate with Cornwall vs Devon. The Devonshire way is to put the clotted cream on first and then the jam. Either way, an Afternoon Tea is always a scrumptious treat.
