  • Love clotted cream on scones but can’t find it or find that it’s a bit costly? You can make it yourself, but it takes a very long time. Not to worry - there is a stovetop method and it’s good! #afternoontea #clottedcream #A_Spot_Of_Tea #teaparties #makeyourownclottedcream #stovetopclottedcream #scones #creamtea

    Here in England, if it’s a ‘Cornish’ cream tea it’s jam on the scone first then the cream. If you were in Devon then it’s cream first with jam on top. Devon and Cornwall both lay claim to its invention, no one knows where it originated. The positioning of jam and cream is strongly contested between the two counties. Enjoy.

      @kathleenstoin671. Here in England it’s down to a county rivalry thing. Mainly because absolutely no one knows who came up with the cream tea first, the Cornish or the Devonian’s! It’s all light hearted though. As I am from Northamptonshire, it doesn’t matter a bit, I just love a cream tea. So jump right in and enjoy the experience. 🫖

    This is a lovely recipe. Being from the Diary state, moo, clotted cream never caught on. But it is delicious. I always say I made clotted cream, when I over whipped, whipping cream, which is actually sweet butter. The science, is your evaporating the water out of the cream, leaving the fat contents. I remember getting milk deliveries, and the best part was opening the bottles, and scraping off the fat cream, separated on the top. Gosh, I haven’t thought about that in ages. Cheers!

      Well, I'm 10 months late, but here goes: if you have never tried the oven method with whole cream you should. Why? The cream gets a deep yellow crust on top. That crust is simply the most delicious thing you'll ever put into your mouth. Seriously. Some people throw away the crust (heathens!), some people mix the crust into the rest of the cream (the uninitiated), But a chunk of the crust? Superb, and there's no way to get it with any of the quick methods.

  • @donnahypolita8551
    @donnahypolita8551 Před 11 měsíci +29

    I am an American who married a Brit so I learned to make clotted cream and scones. Heavy whipping cream available in the U.S. works fine with the oven method, but it should be pasteurized, not ultrapasteurized, because there is fermentation involved. It really takes only a few minutes of your time. While it is heating or cooling for hours and hours, you can be sleeping or doing whatever. Just plan ahead. It does have a wonderful nutty flavor and a touch of caramel. When it is cooled and refrigerated, the clotted part on top will solidify. Lift one corner and pour the whey out from under. The whey can cream your coffee or tea or be used for baking. I make my scones with more heavy cream. I will have to try this method for when I fail to plan ahead.

    • @yvonnepalmquist8676
      @yvonnepalmquist8676 Před 10 měsíci +1

      That it should be unpasteurized is why it is not available in the US and is actually illegal here. Even the jars sold here in the US (as hard as they are to come by) are specifically made to meet our pasteurization regulations, so they are not quite the same.

    This is different. Great if you're pressed on time. However I do prefer the oven method as you get the ever so lightly golden/ Caramelized areas from the top skin that mix into the cream when putting it into a container. It has a wonderful nuttiness to it and imo gives the clotted cream more character. Yours looks delish though. Had to stop eating it as just a little wakes up my sensitive gall stone.

  • @Elderly-Marian-in-UK
    @Elderly-Marian-in-UK Před 11 měsíci +29

    I'm in the UK. The cream goes on first because it's got a heavier texture to spread. Whereas jam is a lighter texture. If jam was on the bottom and the cream went on the top then the jam wouldn't sit right. The jam would simply smoosh out at the sides as the heavy cream squashed it. Messy jammy mess over the plate. A neater job is with the cream at the bottom and the jam at the top. Just like the original recipe intended. So that's the reason it's done that way. Great clip. I'll make some for myself. I didn't realise it was so easy to do. Thanks for posting. Xx

    very modern version, looks tasty! the traditional way of making clotted cream is done from heavy cream put in a dish and left next to the stove or other warm areas at around 40-60 celsius, for 12-24 hours. the fats will seperate from the whey, the whey would be used to make scones. its both a semi-fermentation and low maillard process which gives it the both mildly tangy flavour alongside the sutble caramel note.

    Oh gosh you’re so sweet. I wish I was there to taste it with you, especially as the scones are huge!
    I’m English and I can absolutely promise you 99% of Brits put jam on first otherwise if you put cream first you can’t spread the jam over it or it slides off the cream onto everything. Fingers, clothes, everywhere!
    I love clotted cream and tried to make it in the oven but I failed dismally so I buy it now occasionally.
    I’m not sure what your store bought version is like but ours has this yellow, lovely semi hardened texture around the edges of the thick cream. It looks like a thick yellow butter fat that’s set within the cream. That’s the clotted part or what it’s named clotted cream for.
    I am going to try your method though as it looks intriguing.

    wonderful way to make your own clotted cream as it is technically illegal in America - true clotted cream is made with unpasteurized milk, and the FDA officially banned the distribution in America of any milk or milk products that haven't been pasteurized in 1987 -
    If you're in one of those states that allows the sale of raw milk and you know where to find some, that's obviously the ideal starting point for your homemade clotted cream. If you're out of luck, stick to heavy cream - but look for one that's labeled "pasteurized" rather than "ultra-pasteurized" to ensure proper clotting -
    While you're unlikely to find authentic clotted cream in America, you can still purchase it online and at some major U.S. grocery stores - Just keep in mind that what you're buying is the FDA-approved, pasteurized version of clotted cream. Therefore, the flavor and texture may differ slightly from what you'd experience in England -

    The idea is to cut the scone in half and then spread the whole half with whichever combination. I'm from Devon and for me the cream replaces butter, so I spread the half a scone with a thick layer of clotted cream and then a very thin layer of jam. We don't dob the cream and jam on little bits of scone and eat it that way. I now live in Canada and sadly, we cannot buy even "heavy" cream here. I couldn't make clotted cream even if I tried. We have whipping cream which is only 33% fat so not enough. We can buy jars of Devon cream but last year that went up in price from usually around $6 to nearly $10 for a small jar and frankly that's daylight robbery.

      There are faux versions but even most of them use heavy whipping cream, but The Pioneer Woman does have a non-cook faux version that doesn't use heavy whipping cream, but rather sour cream instead. 4 oz. room temperature cream cheese, beat in bowl, then add 1/4 cup of room temperature butter, beat again, then add 1/4 cup of sour cream, and beat until smooth. Refrigerate (can be kept up to a week). Let sit in room temperature for 20 minutes or so prior to serving. The recipe itself didn't say, but in the instructional "article" she mentions unsalted butter the better option.

    If I understand correctly, the traditional low heat overnight method allows the water to cook off slowly, thickening the cream without cooking it. But covering the hot cream and butter from the pot with cling film will not allow the steam to escape, trapping the water inside. How does the water cook off under cling film in the fridge?
    Also where's the condensation on the cling film? I'm really confused!
