Sadly, unless you live in a country where it's popular, it can be a bit hard to come by—and expensive to boot! Fortunately, you can easily make a substitute at home. Brush the tops with a beaten egg, then carefully arrange on the hot baking tray. Eat just warm or cold on the day of baking, generously topped with jam and clotted cream. Thank you and good luck
