Devonshire split

Devonshire split is a traditional sweet bun originating from Devon, hence the name. The buns are usually made with a combination of flour, salt, sugar, yeast, butter, and milk or cream. Once the dough has been formed, it's divided into small rounded buns that are baked until the crust becomes pale golden. They're often rubbed with butter and sprinkled with icing sugar. The bread should be very light and the flavors slightly sweet. After they've been baked, Devonshire splits are split open and filled with clotted cream and jam. It's also important to note the existence of Cornish splits, which are the same as Devonshire splits, but larger.
