Devon Flats is a traditional English recipe (from the West Country) for a classic light, creamy, biscuit (cookie) of a flour, sugar, clotted cream, egg and milk dough that's cut into rounds and lightly-based until golden brown. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic English version of: Devon Flats.
Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl then stir-in the cream and egg. Add just enough milk for the ingredients to come together as a stiff dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured surface (if it's a little sticky cover in clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes) and roll out until about 8mm thick. Cut into biscuit circles using a 7.5cm pie cutter and place these to greased baking sheets. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 220°C and bake for about 8 minutes, or until they're coloured a light golden brown.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the baking tray then transfer to wire racks and leave to cool completely.
