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.
My great-grandmother was from Devon. Her father was born in Cornwall. I live in the States. She would tell us about the different ways they would apply the cream. ❤
@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. 🫖
When I was a child, living in London in the 1950s, clotted cream was almost impossible to get hold of. My grandmother, who was a Devonian, as was my father, used to send us an 8 ounce tin of cream for Christmas by post - such a treat!
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.
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.
If you use a small crockpot and leave the lid ajar for evaporation it makes clotted cream. Put it on low and let it go overnight. In the morning you have clotted cream for scones, our biscuits in USA.
I said not ultrapasteurized. Of course you will have to use pasteurized heavy cream, not always easy to find. Trader Joe's used to have it. I get it at Wegmans now.
@@donnahypolita8551 my comment was not meant in anyway to contradict what you said, only to add to your conversation; more for those who many not know that unpasteurized milk is not really a thing in the US unless you yourself are milking the cow, lol.
@@yvonnepalmquist8676oh contrare. Here in Texas raw milk dairies are popping up everywhere. However, I wouldn't take the chance on raw milk. One of the raw milk dairies here, Mill-King, does a non-homoginized, low-heat pasteurization heavy cream that is perfect for clotted cream. 😊
Great idea !!! In my opinion the oven-method exists, because people in former times used the remaining heat of the oven, after it was used for another dish. Just like baking cake or "Flammkuche" after baking bread in a traditional local bakehouse-oven.
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.
We love clotted cream!!! Here in Colorado, it is hard to get. We fell in love with it when we went to the UK twice in the 90s. Thank You for this 'quicker' recipe. 👍
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!
Dairy State here too, and I'm sad and embarrassed that it took 6 decades to learn what clotted cream is, and how to make it! I've had it before (tea at the Pfister hotel), but I will definitely be making it myself now!! Dairy is a northern European secret to health and happiness. 😊
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.
I learned how to break down gallstones...after I had my gallbladder out. You DON'T want to get to that point, so I'm sharing with you that it's a terpene called limonene. It's found naturally in citrus peel and juice, but therapeutically you can buy it as a supplement. Good luck!
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. i make it in wintertime when the fireplace is on most of the day, i have never bought it as i live in denmark and you cant get it anywhere here.
I live in Denmark too, and make clotted cream in my dehydrator. Sometimes you can get double cream in Torv Halls near Nørreport, opposite the English butcher
I’ve had a craving lately for clotted cream. It is hard to find and if you do it’s so expensive. I will definitely be making this recipe very soon. Thanks.
This manner of video is so far outside my usual orbit, we might as well live on different planets. I'm thus endlessly grateful to the algorithm for throwing me this curveball, because this looks absolutely delightful, and I'm eager to try it for myself.
I just visited London for the first time. I always thought clotted cream was sweet. I was wrong, but it was delicious ❤❤❤ I was definitely a cream first jam second girl
I go to England at least once a year and love having scones with clotted cream and jam. Here in Texas, in a little town south of Houston, clotted cream is impossible to find. So, thank you for a quick and easy recipe. I'd love to add it to our Christmas morning traditions like Mimosas.
I have been to the UK a few times in my Military Career. All of my British counterparts have asked me if I would like to have a go on a Cream Tea. Out of politeness and curiosity I agreed. We never had the time off from the Drill I was there for. Thank you very much for showing and explaining.
If I'm trying to be specific to the grocer, what would I call the Lebanese clotted cream? Is it just qashta/ashta, or like how the Turks have the kaymak?
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
I'm in the US and I have to agree for the same reason... I wouldn't put the jelly down and top it with peanut butter, lol. Besides, I heard that's how QEII did it, too. I found I naturally did it this way prior to even learning about the "debate."
I was introduced to Devonshire cream as a child on a family trip to the UK. I love the stuff! I’ve bought that small jar once ant that’s only because I actually found one. I’ll definitely try your method now that the fall temperatures mean I will have my “auxiliary fridge” (aka the attached garage) back soon.
When I first heard of clotted cream I was a bit frightened thinking I’m Gona have blood clot if I eat it lol! But having it with jam on a scone is the most delicious thing in the world to me with a cup of tea! Thank you for the recipe and wonderful explanation
I am a huge tea lover, and I’ve always said anyone that loves tea can’t be all bad and anyone that doesn’t hasn’t tried all them all yet. I’ve tried white, green, black oolong, rooibos etc., and I love them all. But if I was going to die tomorrow I’d make myself a cream tea with Darjeeling tea with some milk and light honey. Always nice to find a tea lover. I’ve liked and subscribed to this wonderful channel and so should everyone else! Thank you for this.
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been wanting to try clotted cream for my entire life, but I’ve never found it here in the US. So this is great to know. I am not a coffee drinker, I love tea and I’m looking forward to trying out some of your other recipes. New subscriber. 😊👍🏼
Hi Sonya, I made the clotted cream for my traditional British scones and it was delightful! I think I'm addicted, lol. No really, it was so, so good! Very easy to make, just as you said. I am so happy that you took the time to show us this way of making the clotted cream, thank you so very much! P.S. It was a hit at the tea I had as well. Many who were there had not had clotted cream before, they loved it. The sandwiches I made from your recipes (egg salad and cucumber) flew off the plate! The cucumber was a favorite. Thanks again for this wonderful channel :)
Great video. My 83 year old stepfather recently rediscovered scones and has been making them. He recalls having them in Europe with clotted cream while in the military and asked me to find out how to make it. Thank you for this video, the result looks decadent and I now have simple instructions for him to follow.
I did a Google search just a few days ago. ( I love making scones ) desperately wanted to learn about clotted cream. RUclips must have picked up on my search. There you are showing me how to make my own whoopee!
I don't know why the algorithm put this video on my feed, but i'm glad I stayed to the end. I'm glad to see you put your cream and jam on in the right order! ;) I kind of see the cream as a butter layer, and the jam as the addition to that.. Plus! The red on white, in my opinion is more aesthetically pleasing.
This is fantastic, I have wanted to make clotted cream! However, knowing the time it takes, it just never happened. Now I can make it and surprise everyone at my next tea! Thank you:)
i looked at insider edition and they had an extra step to put it in the oven after it sets so it develops that toffee tasting crust! I'm gonna give that a try too
I had clotted cream while on a business trip to London in the 90s when going to "tea". I absolutely loved the scones with clotted cream and jam! I always wished we had it here. Thank you for this recipe!!
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.
That's interesting, everyone I know puts the cream on first (and I'm not from Devon). I find the jam spreads easier over the cream than the other way round but I suppose horses for courses.
Exactly, Devonshire girl here, and I never had cream first. Not only scones, but we used to have soft rolls cut in half, then jam and cream, they were called cut rounds in our house.
@@sukigirlful oh that sounds delicious. It kinda sounds like a simpler version of a scone but is it actually a split bun? Hardly see a split bun anywhere these days 😥
In Britain in winter the Aga is running anyway to heat the house. Doing a batch of clotted cream is incidental. They’re also often doing manual labor and need the calories.
The temptation is to try it before it's set properly. There's a microwave method too that I'll have to try out. I'm a clotted cream first guy. As it's thicker than jam it should be easier to spread. You should try making some proper round scones next. Those triangular ones look odd to we British. 😁😁
Yes, and here we tend to make those triangular scones much bigger and sweeter than a proper English scone. I have an excellent recipe so it’s on my list for a future video. Thanks very much for watching!
In the UK, Double cream is 48% butter fat whereas US Heavy cream is only 36% butter fat. Clotted cream should have a thick crust on the top, you wont get that if you put plastc wrap over it when you put it in the fridge. I make it in the UK in my Instantpot, making it overnight on the slow cooker (low) setting.
I've never even thought of making this myself! I'm going to try your recipe out! I'm in the UK & I love it..but its ridiculously expensive here too. I have an old & very dear friend in Chicago who loves a cream tea when she visits, so when I next see her, either here or there, I'll suprise her by making some for her! Thank you, I'm glad I found your channel!
Thank you for your video. I'm from Devon, UK. I have never made my own clotted cream. This method seems much better than leaving the cream in the oven for 12hrs. Will definitely give it a go!
Thank you for the thorough explanation and accompanying demonstration. You answered all the questions I, as a Canadian, have always wondered regarding clotted cream. I live in a small village and this inspires me to host an attempt at a Cream Tea.🤞
I will try this! I have bought the little jars in specialty stores as a treat and have been scared off my the hours and hours of oven time required to make it the traditional method. (I don't have a wood stove like people used to!) Tea biscuits (as we call them in Canada) are my specialty and I'm excited to try my hand at your method of making clotted cream.
@@CGH250 Not in the UK. What Americans call jam, jelly, and preserves are all called jam in the UK. what they call jelly is what we call Jello or gelatin. And scones and American biscuits are not the same. Scones are made with eggs.
@@richdiddens4059We do call certain jams ‘jellies’ in the U.K. They tend to be blackcurrant or redcurrant and are strained through a cloth so there’s no chunkiness, whole fruit or seeds. But they are still jam-like and used as jam or as a condiment and couldn’t be eaten as a dessert or pudding.
I tried the oven method and burnt it to a crisp, so I very frantically bought a new carton of cream to try this method and it yielded so much better results! Thank you so much for this video 😄
@@andreapalms9260 scones are different than (American) biscuits they include eggs and sugar which biscuits do not. To try and explain a biscuit to a British person saying it’s like kind of like a scone is the best you can do. And the whole what’s a cookie what’s a biscuit as far as the Brits are concerned they can’t even make up their minds; ask three people you’ll get three different answers.
@@andreapalms9260We have cookies too in the U.K., they are the same as American cookies. Chocolate chip, hazelnut etc and big. They are often home made. Good British or European style biscuits are a little hard to find in the USA. They are smaller than cookies and more likely to be shop bought, there are lots of different classic ones, mostly from the late 19th century and early 20th century. British ones tend to be heartier and eaten daily with tea, continental ones tend to be more refined and are for special occasions with coffee. I don’t think any other nation eats as many biscuits as the British or as many varieties. We eat all our own British ones and then we eat every other country’s as well. If the British didn’t have biscuits the country would end.
This is so wonderful. When I was in California my cousin and I went to an English tea shop and had a lovely English tea and oh my clotted cream is delicious. And now I can make it and have my own Tea Party so much
Hello i am from Belgium Brussels and the first time whe go to London i was so happy for:1 the breakfest and the second was Thé time ,sins then i am always HAPPY for thé time ,scones clotted crème and Jam. Thank you so much for sharing this whit us ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤🙋♀️
Never had it but would try some. You made it seem easy. Being American the British scones sound like what we call a biscuit. Not alot of flavor but tasty with butter and jam. Somehow I can’t imagine having an American style biscuit (or a British scone) for afternoon tea. Uck! But it doesn’t sound bad if served for breakfast.
Oh I would never want an American biscuit with afternoon tea. They are different. Look very similar but the taste, texture, and recipe - all different.
I make this w deep fried bread pudding and dip the bread pudding in it. Once the bread pudding is made regularly i dice it up in thick chunks deep fry it for a minute then toss it in cinnamon and sugar then dip it in clotted cream. Absolutely delicious.
Clotted cream dates back to the time when people had wood/coal fired ovens or AGA stoves that stayed warm pretty much all of the time so popping a pan in for twelve hours was not a big deal. Especially leaving it in over night when you weren't cooking anyway. What temp. (F) would you set an electric stove at? I want to compare them.
If you are dealing in Fahrenheit temps, the lowest our oven will go, is recommended. About 170-180F. If you’re dealing with Celsius, I believe that’s around 77C. Would love to know the outcome if you do it!
@@sonyavs455 Thank you! Yes, Fahrenheit. I'm going to try it. I have small countertop oven that wont heat up the kitchen as bad. I just watched another video that RUclips suggested from a middle aged Cornish couple using a 1930s recipe, and their mothers' advice. They did it on the stove but put it in a dish in a larger pan of water and steamed it. They started out with whole unpasteurized milk from a dairy down the road, though. Steaming still might be worth try.
When I was a kid 70plus years ago we used to visit a farm family in the Scilly Isles in the summer and they always had clotted cream in a big bowl on the Esse coal stove which had been there overnight, yummy thanks for this recipe I’m going to make it your way less waste! From Alberta Canada
Thank you for this, my son is spending a year in the UK for school and he told me how good this is, been wondering ever since, will have to make some just to know what it is!
This is great 👍. Not many can spend 12hrs to do it. This method is efficient and the outcome is very creamy texture. I personally prefer this doing. Thx !😊
Hi! I was REALLY skeptical about this method but I finally tried it last night. This is the richest creamiest clotted cream I’ve ever made and I’m going to make it like this from now on. About to have a cream tea and enjoy some more. 😊 Thank you so much for saving my gas bill. 😂😂😂
36 % is all I've ever seen in Oregon, but when I was a kid for a while, we got raw milk from a farm it had thick cream on top, I think I will try this method thank you.
I haven't thought of clotted cream for quite some time. I use to make it with grandma, when I was younger(way younger). I'm going to try your method. Looks and sounds easy enough. I remember clotted cream fudge was very good and always looked forward to Christmas. That when grandma would make that rich creamy fudge. Which, come to think of it. I haven't had any of that for years either. Oh, I surely got to get busy. Thank you very much for bringing such lovely memories back to my mind.😊❤God Bless Y'ALL ❤❤❤❤
Oh I have never tried making clotted cream fudge but I have eaten it. It’s wonderful! I’ll bet your grandma’s recipe was delicious. What a beautiful memory to have. Thanks for watching!
I was just thinking about clotted cream the other day...and I really don't want to think what a 12 hour oven would be in electricity. This video is *so helpful*! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I am a huge tea lover, and I’ve always said anyone that loves tea can’t be all bad and anyone that doesn’t hasn’t tried all them all yet.
I’ve tried white, green, black oolong, rooibos etc., and I love them all. But if I was going to die tomorrow I’d make myself a cream tea with Darjeeling tea with some milk and light honey.
Always nice to find a tea lover. I’ve liked and subscribed to this wonderful channel and so should everyone else!
Thank you for this.
Oh that does sound wonderful! And how kind of you. Thank you for watching!
I'm going to try this. I've used the oven method successfully and enjoyed using the whey to make the scones that the clotted cream was used on.
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been wanting to try clotted cream for my entire life, but I’ve never found it here in the US. So this is great to know. I am not a coffee drinker, I love tea and I’m looking forward to trying out some of your other recipes. New subscriber. 😊👍🏼
Hi Sonya, I made the clotted cream for my traditional British scones and it was delightful! I think I'm addicted, lol. No really, it was so, so good! Very easy to make, just as you said. I am so happy that you took the time to show us this way of making the clotted cream, thank you so very much!
P.S. It was a hit at the tea I had as well. Many who were there had not had clotted cream before, they loved it. The sandwiches I made from your recipes (egg salad and cucumber) flew off the plate! The cucumber was a favorite. Thanks again for this wonderful channel :)
Oh I am very pleased it all turned out so well! And I’ll bet your tea was lovely. Your friends are lucky to have you provide such a treat for them. 😁✨
I have searched for double cream and clotted cream demonstrations, but this video is by far the most useful and comprehensive on youtube. Thank you😀🤝
Thank you! ✨😊
Great video. My 83 year old stepfather recently rediscovered scones and has been making them. He recalls having them in Europe with clotted cream while in the military and asked me to find out how to make it. Thank you for this video, the result looks decadent and I now have simple instructions for him to follow.
I hope he enjoys it!
I did a Google search just a few days ago. ( I love making scones ) desperately wanted to learn about clotted cream. RUclips must have picked up on my search. There you are showing me how to make my own whoopee!
I made your recipe of clotted cream today it was delicious.
I don't know why the algorithm put this video on my feed, but i'm glad I stayed to the end.
I'm glad to see you put your cream and jam on in the right order! ;)
I kind of see the cream as a butter layer, and the jam as the addition to that.. Plus! The red on white, in my opinion is more aesthetically pleasing.
This is fantastic, I have wanted to make clotted cream! However, knowing the time it takes, it just never happened. Now I can make it and surprise everyone at my next tea! Thank you:)
Let me know how it turns out! Thanks for watching.
i looked at insider edition and they had an extra step to put it in the oven after it sets so it develops that toffee tasting crust! I'm gonna give that a try too
@@Chukoki interesting. You’ll have to let me know how that turns out!
I will definitely be making this next weekend, thank you so much! 😊
I need to try making this cream.
Love this recipe
It looks lovely. Thank you for showing this method. ❤️👍
Oh, I'm so glad you showed up in my new videos. Wonderful video.
You have a very lovely, soothing voice. ❤
I am totally going o try This!! I haven't had clotted cream in 15...20 years.
Let me know how it turns out! ✨😊
Thank you for this delightful video that popped up randomly in my feed. New subscriber!
I had clotted cream while on a business trip to London in the 90s when going to "tea". I absolutely loved the scones with clotted cream and jam! I always wished we had it here. Thank you for this recipe!!
Enjoy!
Thank you! I love clotted cream!
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.
That's interesting, everyone I know puts the cream on first (and I'm not from Devon). I find the jam spreads easier over the cream than the other way round but I suppose horses for courses.
Exactly, Devonshire girl here, and I never had cream first. Not only scones, but we used to have soft rolls cut in half, then jam and cream, they were called cut rounds in our house.
@@Bifonacci haha I love it. Well I must have an awful technique. My next scone will try it out. Whatever I will certainly enjoy thoroughly.
@@sukigirlful oh that sounds delicious. It kinda sounds like a simpler version of a scone but is it actually a split bun? Hardly see a split bun anywhere these days 😥
I have only seen the oven method and I don’t like it. You method is the best! Ty so much. You’re amazing!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the recipe! That looks like a Roy Kirkham teacup..I love their china
@@lissyniña Thanks for watching! That’s actually a Victoria Eggs teacup celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. I think it’s lovely. 😉✨
In Britain in winter the Aga is running anyway to heat the house. Doing a batch of clotted cream is incidental. They’re also often doing manual labor and need the calories.
Yes! I think having an Aga must be amazing. ✨
The temptation is to try it before it's set properly. There's a microwave method too that I'll have to try out.
I'm a clotted cream first guy. As it's thicker than jam it should be easier to spread.
You should try making some proper round scones next. Those triangular ones look odd to we British. 😁😁
Yes, and here we tend to make those triangular scones much bigger and sweeter than a proper English scone. I have an excellent recipe so it’s on my list for a future video. Thanks very much for watching!
@@sonyavs455 I use Caster Sugar for making scones. That's known as 'Super Fine Sugar' in the USA.
@@Poliss95 I should try that!
@@Poliss95If you can't find superfine sugar at the grocery store, put a cup of plain granulated sugar in the blender for a bit. Cane sugar is best.
If it’s round (here in the States) it’s a biscuit.
In the UK, Double cream is 48% butter fat whereas US Heavy cream is only 36% butter fat.
Clotted cream should have a thick crust on the top, you wont get that if you put plastc wrap over it when you put it in the fridge.
I make it in the UK in my Instantpot, making it overnight on the slow cooker (low) setting.
Do you get a nice crust from the slow cooker method? That is what I miss about the quick way. 😁✨
I've never even thought of making this myself! I'm going to try your recipe out! I'm in the UK & I love it..but its ridiculously expensive here too. I have an old & very dear friend in Chicago who loves a cream tea when she visits, so when I next see her, either here or there, I'll suprise her by making some for her! Thank you, I'm glad I found your channel!
Thank you for watching! I hope yours turns out wonderfully!
Thank you for your video. I'm from Devon, UK. I have never made my own clotted cream. This method seems much better than leaving the cream in the oven for 12hrs. Will definitely give it a go!
This method looks better to me in the end result than inside the oven. I'll try both to compare. Thanks!
Saw this recipe and thought you might like it. Looks easy.
That looks amazing ❤
Thank you for the thorough explanation and accompanying demonstration. You answered all the questions I, as a Canadian, have always wondered regarding clotted cream. I live in a small village and this inspires me to host an attempt at a Cream Tea.🤞
Oh I hope you have a wonderful Cream Tea!
I am so excited about your post. I adore clotted cream!!!!! 😉❣️
I’ll be giving this a try. Thank you!
I will try this! I have bought the little jars in specialty stores as a treat and have been scared off my the hours and hours of oven time required to make it the traditional method. (I don't have a wood stove like people used to!) Tea biscuits (as we call them in Canada) are my specialty and I'm excited to try my hand at your method of making clotted cream.
Hope it turns out well for you!
I’m so impressed that you called it jam not jelly and you referred to it as a scone not a biscuit. Well done 🙏🏻
Jam and jelly are actually completely different consistency. I buy both.
@@CGH250 Not in the UK. What Americans call jam, jelly, and preserves are all called jam in the UK. what they call jelly is what we call Jello or gelatin. And scones and American biscuits are not the same. Scones are made with eggs.
@@richdiddens4059 I've never made scones with eggs and have never seen a recipe with eggs. I'm in Australia
@@richdiddens4059We do call certain jams ‘jellies’ in the U.K. They tend to be blackcurrant or redcurrant and are strained through a cloth so there’s no chunkiness, whole fruit or seeds. But they are still jam-like and used as jam or as a condiment and couldn’t be eaten as a dessert or pudding.
I MAKE both. Homemade is best! @@CGH250
I tried the oven method and burnt it to a crisp, so I very frantically bought a new carton of cream to try this method and it yielded so much better results! Thank you so much for this video 😄
I am so pleased it worked out for you!
Nice💕
You can use a slow cooker for the long cook, but I would use it as a Bain Marie by floating a bowl in water in the slow cooker.
Watching this as a birtish person who can buy clotted cream from every supermarket is quite entertaing. Also its 100% jam first
You are quite the lucky one! Thanks so much for watching.
That is what we call “biscuits.” In USA. Your “biscuits” are “cookies” to us. We eat”biscuits the same way scones are eaten in the UK
@@andreapalms9260 na cookies and biscuits r two different things here too
@@andreapalms9260 scones are different than (American) biscuits they include eggs and sugar which biscuits do not. To try and explain a biscuit to a British person saying it’s like kind of like a scone is the best you can do. And the whole what’s a cookie what’s a biscuit as far as the Brits are concerned they can’t even make up their minds; ask three people you’ll get three different answers.
@@andreapalms9260We have cookies too in the U.K., they are the same as American cookies. Chocolate chip, hazelnut etc and big. They are often home made. Good British or European style biscuits are a little hard to find in the USA. They are smaller than cookies and more likely to be shop bought, there are lots of different classic ones, mostly from the late 19th century and early 20th century. British ones tend to be heartier and eaten daily with tea, continental ones tend to be more refined and are for special occasions with coffee. I don’t think any other nation eats as many biscuits as the British or as many varieties. We eat all our own British ones and then we eat every other country’s as well. If the British didn’t have biscuits the country would end.
This is so wonderful. When I was in California my cousin and I went to an English tea shop and had a lovely English tea and oh my clotted cream is delicious. And now I can make it and have my own Tea Party so much
Hello i am from Belgium Brussels and the first time whe go to London i was so happy for:1 the breakfest and the second was Thé time ,sins then i am always HAPPY for thé time ,scones clotted crème and Jam. Thank you so much for sharing this whit us ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤🙋♀️
Never had it but would try some. You made it seem easy. Being American the British scones sound like what we call a biscuit. Not alot of flavor but tasty with butter and jam. Somehow I can’t imagine having an American style biscuit (or a British scone) for afternoon tea. Uck! But it doesn’t sound bad if served for breakfast.
Oh I would never want an American biscuit with afternoon tea. They are different. Look very similar but the taste, texture, and recipe - all different.
That looks delicious. I would try that in my coffee as I put heavy cream in it already.
Never heard of this type of cream, but I’m excited to try it. 😊
I make this w deep fried bread pudding and dip the bread pudding in it. Once the bread pudding is made regularly i dice it up in thick chunks deep fry it for a minute then toss it in cinnamon and sugar then dip it in clotted cream. Absolutely delicious.
Oh wow. That sounds amazing!
Oooh, I need to try this! I’ve purchased it from Gelsons and it was pretty pricey. It’s definitely a treat! Thank you for sharing!
Glad to have found your channel. Looking forward to many more videos!
I’m definitely going to give this a try.
Clotted cream dates back to the time when people had wood/coal fired ovens or AGA stoves that stayed warm pretty much all of the time so popping a pan in for twelve hours was not a big deal. Especially leaving it in over night when you weren't cooking anyway. What temp. (F) would you set an electric stove at? I want to compare them.
If you are dealing in Fahrenheit temps, the lowest our oven will go, is recommended. About 170-180F. If you’re dealing with Celsius, I believe that’s around 77C. Would love to know the outcome if you do it!
@@sonyavs455 Thank you! Yes, Fahrenheit. I'm going to try it. I have small countertop oven that wont heat up the kitchen as bad. I just watched another video that RUclips suggested from a middle aged Cornish couple using a 1930s recipe, and their mothers' advice. They did it on the stove but put it in a dish in a larger pan of water and steamed it. They started out with whole unpasteurized milk from a dairy down the road, though. Steaming still might be worth try.
@@brucetidwell7715 ooh steaming does sound interesting. Good for you if you attempt that, too!
Sounds like a good candidate for a slow cooker recipe version as well.
Absolutely, I’ve done it and it’s delicious!
Yes, I've heard people doing that, too! Haven't tried that method yet, myself. But very tempting!
I'm a Brit living in the US. Excellent! Did you lick that bread pan?
So tempting, isn’t it? ✨
@@sonyavs455That wasn’t a “no”!! 😂
When I was a kid 70plus years ago we used to visit a farm family in the Scilly Isles in the summer and they always had clotted cream in a big bowl on the Esse coal stove which had been there overnight, yummy thanks for this recipe I’m going to make it your way less waste! From Alberta Canada
What a wonderful memory, I’ll bet it was yummy!
I always wished to make clotted cream but it seemed so complicated. Thanks for An easier method.
Thank you! I love your channel.
Thank you! So glad you found it!
Mmm yummy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤❤🙋♀️
Seems like this would be best done using a crockpot on low used as a double boiler with a second bowl inside containing the cream.
Thanks. @2:19 is the start of this recipe. Enjoy😊.
Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you for this, my son is spending a year in the UK for school and he told me how good this is, been wondering ever since, will have to make some just to know what it is!
I am definitely a jam first gal ❤
The best part of buying a reaaaaaalllly good yogurt, or fresh milk, is that cream on top. I honestly just want that part. 😅
I’ll be making this.
I love scones with clotted cream i tried your recipe and it was delicious will be making it often thank you
So glad you had success with it!
This is great 👍. Not many can spend 12hrs to do it. This method is efficient and the outcome is very creamy texture. I personally prefer this doing. Thx !😊
Hi! I was REALLY skeptical about this method but I finally tried it last night. This is the richest creamiest clotted cream I’ve ever made and I’m going to make it like this from now on. About to have a cream tea and enjoy some more. 😊 Thank you so much for saving my gas bill. 😂😂😂
Hi ! So pleased it turned out well for you! 😁✨
Kind of reminds me of Panna Cotta without the Gelantine or Vanilla. Never knew this even existed and im not that far away from the UK in Germany ^^
I make clotted cream in my dehydrator, it’s much easier than the oven😎🌸
Yummy! I'd never heard of it until England. Have purchased here but not the same. Now I know how to make it :)
36 % is all I've ever seen in Oregon, but when I was a kid for a while, we got raw milk from a farm it had thick cream on top, I think I will try this method thank you.
I haven't thought of clotted cream for quite some time. I use to make it with grandma, when I was younger(way younger). I'm going to try your method. Looks and sounds easy enough. I remember clotted cream fudge was very good and always looked forward to Christmas. That when grandma would make that rich creamy fudge. Which, come to think of it. I haven't had any of that for years either. Oh, I surely got to get busy. Thank you very much for bringing such lovely memories back to my mind.😊❤God Bless Y'ALL ❤❤❤❤
Oh I have never tried making clotted cream fudge but I have eaten it. It’s wonderful! I’ll bet your grandma’s recipe was delicious. What a beautiful memory to have. Thanks for watching!
So glad I found you. Will make this cream this weekend.
Wonderful! Do let me know how it turns out. 😊✨
I was just thinking about clotted cream the other day...and I really don't want to think what a 12 hour oven would be in electricity. This video is *so helpful*! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
