Clotted cream
Clotted cream is a treacle-thick yellow
cream made by heating and then leaving unhomogenised cow's
milk out in shallow pans overnight. Purists prefer the cows to come from the
counties of
Devon or
Cornwall in
England. Clotted cream is a required ingredient of a
cream tea, which is indeed known outside the
United Kingdom as a Devonshire Tea.
Those living outside the Commonwealth may manufacture a reasonable facsimile by combining whole milk with heavy cream two parts to one, heating at the very lowest possible heat for a couple of hours until a skin forms, leaving it undisturbed overnight, and then harvesting the skin and its underclots—one may do whatever one likes with the remaining milk.
