How to Make Quick Clotted Cream, Jam & Scones All in One Video

Scones with jam and clotted cream are a classic afternoon tea snack here in the UK. You can find them anywhere from your nan’s house to pubs, fancy restaurants, and 5-star hotels. A scone is a humble little pasty that is neither bread nor cake, but something in between. It is light and crumbly, but it can withstand a good smearing with the thickened clotted cream.

How different is clotted cream from crème fraîche

[@ChainBaker]

@Daniella_M clotted cream is super thick, sticky, and sweet. Quite the opposite of creme fraiche.

[@Daniella_M]

When I was in England, I fell in love with clotted cream. Sadly in America we cannot replicate it. Our cows do not have a high enough fat content. I have to. Combine the heaviest cream we have with cream cheese to get close. It doesn’t taste as good as British clotted cream but it’s the best we can do. We use Holstein cows almost exclusively in America. England uses mostly Guernsey. Higher butter fat and better tasting. If I could, I would immigrate to England just for the clotted cream, scones, and strawberry jam, alongside a good Earl Grey tea. Yum. The best Cream Tea I ever had was in a restaurant called Stones. I think it was in Avebury. Soooo incredible.

[@dudmanjohn]

Not sure if I misunderstood you but the Holstein Friesian are the most common UK dairy cow but because of higher yields the Holstein predominates due to giving higher yields. Typically, Holstein milk is around 4% butterfat. Guernsey, and Jersey, cattle are in the minority but do produce higher fat delicious milk. Given that Holsteins dominate the US dairy herd I would expect that fat levels would be similar to UK. Can you get whole milk i.e. without fat being removed ? We buy whole milk at 3.7% fat rather than semi-skimmed 1.8% fat or, horror of horrors, skimmed 0.3% fat. Glad you enjoyed the clotted cream in UK. Our favourite is Rodda's Classic Cornish Clotted Cream 😋. Stones restaurant closed in 2000 several years before my wife and I moved to Wiltshire. We now live 22 miles from Avebury, it's a favourite spot, and 4 miles from Stonehenge.

These three recipes were so much fun to make! What is great is that you can make them individually for separate uses. I have been making the jam several times (using various berry "pulp" from making fruit essence) to serve with other ChainBaker bakes - and homemade clotted cream - it should be a standard staple in every household!! 🤩 The scones aren't made the same way I usually make scones, but they are quite wonderful and perfect with the jam and clotted cream.

@@ChainBaker Yep. I've made plenty of jam, and I think I'll go with strawberry. I use balsamic vinegar instead of lemon juice, which I think gives it an interesting flavor.

Thx for this one, as always! I perfected my scones in January for my mother's 89th birthday tea. Also made the 12 hour bake clotted cream. I'll have to try your stovetop method. One quick tip I learned - never twist the cutter. Twisting can lock up the sides and impede the oven spring. Also... Jam first and cream on TOP! That's the way the Queen always had them. 😃 BTW - I recently used your rough puff pastry recipe to make vol-au-vent. Perfect! It made very impressive pastry cups. Maybe you could do a video.

With clotted cream it makes more sense to do it the other way around 😄

[@bloodwolf7462]

Perfect recipes for my wife. She's more into those make&bake ones :D I do preffer cold fermented ones that requires patience ;)

[@zvezdoblyat]

The sterilisation isn't as difficult as people make it seem. Just wash your jars and lids, boil them in water, put the jam in the jars and seal them, then boil the filled jars in water for around 20 minutes. The only thing is that they should be completely submerged in water, and they should be sealed very tightly. I check to make sure the top of the lid isnt popping up after boiling. Your glass lids don't need this step, but the metal ones with the "button" do. After boiling, I leave them to cool in the hot water and refrigerate the next day. My blueberry jam has been in the fridge for months without spoiling.

I love clotted cream! I Always make the 12 hour version... does the shortened version really taste the same?

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

I also make the 10+ hrs in the oven with a 12hr chill - I think the texture and flavor is different, but if you don't have 24 hrs to make a batch, then Charlie's quick recipe is a great replacement! I prefer stovetop vs the microwave version, but that is just me. 👍

I have never tried baking it in the oven. People say it has a nutty flavour, so it may just be better.

When I make mine, I freeze my butter, and then use a grater to break it up in the flour. It stays colder longer when you work it in I'd love to tell you where I learned that trick, but I saw it on TV in the 70s and I don't remember what show (yes, I'm very old)

Would this clotted cream method work with UHT cream? That's all I can find where I live. Well, I'll try it and find out...

[@ChainBaker]

I'm not sure. But I guess as long as it has a high fat content, you'll get something out of it! :)

[@m13b]

Notice any flavor difference with clotted cream made via the stovetop or microwave method? Few times I've made clotted cream in the oven, it develops a rich nutty flavor. You're also left with some nice whey I tend to then use to make simple scones.

[@ChainBaker]

Nah they're pretty much the same. The oven baked one is probably superior though.

[@navdwalt1]

First the jam and then the cream...lol

[@ChainBaker]

Sure, why not 😄

[@BookwormFUT]

Now that we've breached the topic of cream (loving every second, by the way), idea: making sour cream.

[@artycrafty9209]

its dead easy and just like making yoghurt but you dont need heat just room temperature cream and either buy a starter from a cheese company or a small tub of sour cream from the supermarket, add to your room temperature cream and leave on countertop for around 16 to 24 hours. Voila! wonderful sour cream then store in the fridge. I have just made buttermilk also same way but with all fat milk.

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

Yay - clotted cream - I have a quart of heavy cream on hand... 👍 I have "pulp" of various berries from making berry essence (Avery's recipe) - I wonder if I can use it to make jam?

[@jeanettehaygood4154]

@@Jeepy2-LoveToBakewhat temperature to bake the cream and for how long please? 🥰

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

@@jeanettehaygood4154 Hi, here you go - I use the drained whey in my scone dough (I found this recipe awhile back and it works well) 1 pint (2 cups / 450ml) heavy cream (NOT ultra-pasteurized) Heat oven to 360F/182C. Pour heavy cream into a 3-cup Pyrex glass baking dish (or similar) and cover with foil. Place in oven. Turn oven off. Let cream sit in oven for 3 hours. Turn oven back on to 180F/82C and let cream sit in oven for 7 hours. (or more) Take clotted cream out of oven and let cool to room temperature. Then chill clotted cream in the fridge for about 12 hours. Using a spoon to hold back the clots of cream, drain off as much of the whey as possible into a jar or glass. Then scoop the thick "clotted" clumps of cream into a jar or bowl (or just leave it in the pyrex). If your clotted cream is thicker than you'd like, add a couple spoonfuls of whey back into the cream.

Calculate how much fat is missing and then add an amount of butter according to how much fat that butter contains.

Made the jam and clotted cream (both methods) two days ago, made the scone dough last night and baked them fresh this morning. This is a great set of recipes - basic ingredients, quick and simple to make.

Again, perfect with the clotted cream and strawberry jam. I think I’ll brew a nice cup of tea to enjoy with a scone. Photos have been posted.

[@akhduke]

I totally love clotted cream. But The heaviest cream available in india is only 25% fat. Is it worth shipping the double cream from the UK. Will it withstand the travel duration in your opinion? To make up the other 25% fat from butter will be adding a lot of it. I hope it doesn’t change the texture and flavour

[@catherinedavidson7145]

The lemon provides pectin, which strawberries don't have much of, making for a good set without overcooking. Apples help too. There's a quite complicated (I think) test using methylated spirits to check pectin content, but who has the time or energy? 😂

That recipe in America is for biscuits. And English biscuits are American cookies. American scones usually are denser and have more sugar in them.

[@MSStuckwisch]

American biscuits don't normally contain sugar or egg. Standard is flour, lard, baking powder, salt, and buttermilk. Butter is common either in lieu of lard or to glaze. The fat also isn't mixed in to a sandy level, normally a bit chunkier at pea sized. But a lot of similarities: don't work the dough being #1, and goes well with jam haha.

[@knottybead4871]

Cream and butter had a baby comment made me laugh so hard. I love scones so much. I usually pat my dough out to the thickness that I want then cut the dough in squares or triangles, so I don’t have to rework the dough and it all gets used. They don’t look as nice as yours did though.
