Clotted Cream Recipe
Description: Both Cornwall and Devon are famed for this delicacy. Traditionally, this is made by pouring plain, old-fashioned, un-tampered-with milk into shallow pans and leaving it undisturbed for 24 hours, allowing the cream to rise. Since milk of that variety is as scarce as chickens’ teeth in the USA, double cream can be used instead.

| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Pour the cream into a shallow pan. If using milk, leave undisturbed for 24 hours. |
| 2 | Heat the pan gently to about 82°C (180°F), and hold the heat very steady at this temperature for approximately 1 hour. |
| 3 | When the surface cream has developed a thick, rich, yellow wrinkled crust, turn off the heat and allow the pans to cool slowly. |
| 4 | Once cold, skim the cream off and serve with scones, fruit, or fruit pies. |
Recipe Notes:
- Make sure to use a shallow pan for optimal cream rising.
- It’s crucial to maintain a steady temperature throughout the heating process to achieve the desired texture.
- The cooling process should be gradual to ensure the cream sets properly.
