  • The queen of afternoon tea served with scones and strawberry jam, clotted cream is sometimes confused with butter for its thick, rich texture. While it contains some butterfat (a lot of it, actually), clotted cream isn't churned, as butter would be. Instead, its butterfat is separated slowly following a precise, lengthy process that here in Cornwall has been passed down over generations. We visited Treleague Dairy in Ruan Minor, England, to find out how it’s made.

    These days the cream is made by one or two large producers but back in the day it was made more locally by different farms and even at home, all over both Devon and Cornwall. So the question of cream or jam first really depended on the particular cream you had. If the cream is very stiff and thick, you put it first because it’s harder to spread on top of the jam. If the cream is very soft, you can put it on second because you can get it to spread on jam more easily. These days it’s become a Devon vs Cornwall thing but that’s kind of an artificial distinction, because it really depended on the particular farm and the particular method.

      That is so true. Nowadays, you can find "Devonshire Cream" and "Clotted Cream", the former being a little less thick than the latter, and less rich with less fat content. Both are still good.

      I can't believe we don't have it in the U.S. well I guess we can get it, but over here, milk and milk products have to be pasteurized in order to sell it, legally. So the pasteurization process changes it to something different from what you would get in the UK.
      But the growth hormones and antibiotics in our meat and poultry, and pesticides in our produce, THAT'S OK. smdh.
      I know I can make it at home. It's still not like the UK version, so I've heard, because of having to use pasteurized milk.

    I love clotted cream. I often make my own cause its not a common thing to find in my region.
    I just do a slow cooking method in my oven or on the stove top, then scoop the cream and crust to lay in layers in my cream bowl.
    Then I turn the remaining milk into bread to go with my clotted cream :)

    In Crete we have a very similar type of cream called "Staka" (greek: στάκα). We use goat (or sometimes sheep) milk to make it. Very, very delicious. Unlike clotted cream, we usually cook it with some flour to create a delicious hot creamy sauce, but it can be eaten raw (especially if it's really fresh, like a couple days old because it tends to firm up like cheese when left alone for longer than that). If you have no issues with something that's somewhat pungent (hey, goat's milk does have a unique scent that's not for everyone) and eating basically cheesy butter, if you come to crete, try to source a bit from a cheese seller.

A good quality jam, home made if possible, with lots of fruit in. Fresh clotted cream, not out of a jar. I grew up with really good cream teas, not some of the excuses of one that some places sell today. If you are traveling to UK, do your research first, there are still places that do a fantastic cream tea.( usually very busy) I have had the jam and cream just great, then the scone like a hockey puck!

My husband would bring a pail of milk fresh from the cooler, I'd set the pail into a pasteurized and turn the button, it cooked the milk at just the right temperature, then I'd set the pail into the fridge overnight. In the morning there would be a 3inch layer of thick cream on top. I'd whip that into butter with my electric mixer. So yummy.

      British food is subtle and the most delicate flavours, Sadly cultures that have lots of spice and chilli means your tastes have been destroyed and you can't taste subtle flavours anymore. It's a bit like someone who has 4 sugars in their tea, finds tea with no sugar disgusting. But over time, you can retrain your tastes to enjoy tea without sugar. I have Asian friends who say our food tastes of nothing, but they are sadly missing out, because they have lost the ability to taste delicious food that's natural and subtle. I feel sorry for them.

They were developed in Britain using Indian spices for the British pallet. Curries like chicken tikka masala are full of spices, people just don't realise that it is a British dish. Because of their history of Colonialism, the British culinary identity is inherently strongly influenced by the wider world. As a result it is really hard to point to very many interesting dishes that are purely "British" but that does not mean that the British don't do interesting spiced food.

      I always think having one specific way of doing it is kinda silly anyway. I just put whatever is thicker on the bottom, because otherwise its weird if you have something thick on top of something runny that you can't really spread at all. Since usually I'm using clotted cream, its usually cream first for me. But if I dont have any and have to use a different, thinner cream, or if I have one of those really thick jams you can get sometimes, then maybe then I'll put the jam first. No dogma required, just adaptability!

      Many decades ago (circa 1960) I used to go gliding at Dunkeswell, Devon, and always came via Honiton where I would stop at the Honiton Dairy for freshly made ice-cream, made from the milk of the Devon cow. It had its own very specific and delicious taste. Some years later, after returning from working abroad, I took a colleague with me to visit the area. Previously, I had been going on about this ice-cream so much to her that she was really looking forward to having some. I was worried that the dairy may no longer exist. Not only was it still in operation and still making the same ice-cream, but now it also added a huge scoop of clotted cream on top. Heaven, indeed! And I still think about and can 'taste' it, too.

    Jam first, then cream, because the jam can soak in to the scone and kind of ‘stick’ and then the clotted cream sits on top. If you do it the other way the jam tries to just slide off the clotted cream. Extra bonus points - put some fresh berries on top of the clotted cream to match your jam. Just like 3-5 raspberries or a sliced strawberry or two, not a heaping pile. Adds a nice contrast.

      Less milky cream, basically. There’s a tiny bit of a buttery taste to the crust but if you try it expecting butter you’ll be confused. It’s sort of soft butter texture but whipping cream flavor? But richer than whipping cream because there’s less milk/water content. Sometimes people think they can substitute butter and no, no you cannot. You also can’t substitute sour cream or any kind of soft cheese, or whipped cream, or Greek yogurt, all of which I have seen people try. Plain whipped cream is probably the closest out of those but still not right.
