You are the second person who has mentioned clotted cream and scones etc... so I am curious what it is....???

Unpasteurized cow's milk is gently heated (not boiled) for about an hour and then left in shallow pans for the curds to form and float on the surface. The curds are skimmed off and any remaining whey is strained off. The whey is waste, only the clotted curds are used.
The result is a high fat content (about 55%) thick yellowish clotted cream.
Traditional Cream Tea is a serving of (usually) 2 plain or fruit scones with clotted cream and strawberry preserve with a nice pot of tea.
Clotted cream is traditionaly made in Corwall, Devon & Dorset. It is also made in Wiltshire, Hampshire and Somerset, but these tend to be less fatty than the real thing.
YUMMMY.............

OK, so what's the difference between single and double cream, and is there triple and quadruple cream? [xx(]
-
Double cream has 48% fat and single cream has 12% fat.
No, I can't work that out either!

"You really are as thick as clotted cream, that's been left out by some clot, and now the clots are so clotted, you couldn't unclot them with an electric de-clotter, aren't you, Baldrick? "

I have a cunning plan!
A plan as cunning as the cunningiest thingy in the world, Catpain Slackbladder.

Karen I can't buy clotted cream easily. Also I don't recally mentioning it. oops
This wiki link might help though cream over a pan seems more like UHT (Ultra Heated Treated) milk.

Miss Muffett, allegedly, sat on her tuffet to eat her curds and whey. So why go to the bother of separating them just to eat them together - why not just have a glass of milk?
And I've never heard it called a tuffet before. [:I]

I had made such a mess that I had to clean the whole of the kitchen.
It was in the bake off thread!! LOL... I was thinking you as you started the thread... but I went back and it was Don and You that commented on the clotted cream!
Sorry..
But Thanks for your answer.. so it is not easy for you to get eh?

Thats a huge difference in the percentages of fat in those two ... So I am assuming it is unsweetened unless someone as in the link mentions to sprinkle sugar over and brown the top...
So a heavy whipping cream is what I have seen here but I do believe it is pasteurized.. or is it??? I am not sure.. we buy it then whip the soup out of it till it forms a nice whipping cream then we can add a tad of vanilla and sugar to add to a luscious coffee etc..

British double cream is thicker and has a higher fat content than it's US equivalent whipping cream. Try to whip British double cream and it will soon turn to a solid lump. It can be lightly whipped for the purpose of pipping and other decorative effects. We do have a whipping cream with much the same fat content as US whipping (or heavy) cream. So it is wrong to compare US whipping (heavy) cream with UK double cream. The nearest you have to UK double cream is the extra-heavy cream used mostly by the trade, and even that isn't as high in butter fat as ours.
US Creams:-
Half and half (10.5–18% fat)
Light, coffee, or table cream (18–30% fat)
Medium cream (25% fat)
Whipping or light whipping cream (30–36% fat)
Heavy whipping cream (36% or more)
Extra-heavy, double, or manufacturer's cream (38–40% or more), Usually only available at specialty stores.
Exact fat content ranges vary.
UK Creams:-
Clotted cream 55%
Double cream 48%
Whipping cream 35%
Whipped cream 35%
Sterilized cream 23%
Cream or single cream 18%
Half cream 12%
These are legal definitions which must be adhered to.

Thanks a lot Don.. here it is 2:00 AM and I am fixing to wake my Daughter to have her take me 8 miles into town to look at our heavy cream selections..Hee hee hee....

can't eat it but can investigate... Thanks

Karen no problems, I've learnt about yummy Clotted Cream.
-
Thanks Rosalind.. I am going to try your scones and cheese fingers or sticks.. tomorrow.. Afraid there will be no clotted cream for this girl, but the thought sounds good!
-
Prsonally, I think that clotted craem is over-rated and should carry a health warning.
As for scones and jam, try them with that extra-thick double cream some supermarkets do - it's a better mouthfeel than clotted. [;)]
-
I will try that ... Thanks blakstyger

Please let us know how you got on. I'm interested anyway.

Clotted cream is easy to get in the supermarkets, but double cream whipped up thick is good, not as good as clotted cream which is special but works well. You have to put the jam on first, then add the cream!!!! Hope you enjoy

I don't agree about the mouth feel. I much prefer clotted cream. The worst mouth feel has to be squirty cream from a tin.

I go along with you 100%.
blakestyger, you are describing what has become known as a Sussex Cream Tea. A poor imitation of the real Cornish & Devonshire cream tea.
