How Clotted Cream Is Made In England | Regional Eats | Food Insider

The queen of afternoon tea served with scones and strawberry jam, clotted cream is sometimes confused with butter for its thick, rich texture. While it contains some butterfat (a lot of it, actually), clotted cream isn't churned, as butter would be. Instead, its butterfat is separated slowly following a precise, lengthy process that here in Cornwall has been passed down over generations. We visited Treleague Dairy in Ruan Minor, England, to find out how it’s made.

How Clotted Cream Is Made In England | Regional Eats | Food Insider

[@MackerelCat]

These days the cream is made by one or two large producers but back in the day it was made more locally by different farms and even at home, all over both Devon and Cornwall. So the question of cream or jam first really depended on the particular cream you had. If the cream is very stiff and thick, you put it first because it’s harder to spread on top of the jam. If the cream is very soft, you can put it on second because you can get it to spread on jam more easily. These days it’s become a Devon vs Cornwall thing but that’s kind of an artificial distinction, because it really depended on the particular farm and the particular method.

[@LisaAnn365]

That is so true. Nowadays, you can find "Devonshire Cream" and "Clotted Cream", the former being a little less thick than the latter, and less rich with less fat content. Both are still good.

[@Carolina-nn6ye]

I can't believe we don't have it in the U.S. well I guess we can get it, but over here, milk and milk products have to be pasteurized in order to sell it, legally. So the pasteurization process changes it to something different from what you would get in the UK. But the growth hormones and antibiotics in our meat and poultry, and pesticides in our produce, THAT'S OK. smdh. I know I can make it at home. It's still not like the UK version, so I've heard, because of having to use pasteurized milk.

[@baddie1shoe]

I’ve made it at home before and it’s delicious!

[@mellie4174]

Thanks so much for this insight! I always wondered why this was a debate. But the cream consistency makes so much sense when you put into consideration the different farms who made their own creams!

I just do a slow cooking method in my oven or on the stove top, then scoop the cream and crust to lay in layers in my cream bowl.

[@lyravain6304]

In Crete we have a very similar type of cream called "Staka" (greek: στάκα). We use goat (or sometimes sheep) milk to make it. Very, very delicious. Unlike clotted cream, we usually cook it with some flour to create a delicious hot creamy sauce, but it can be eaten raw (especially if it's really fresh, like a couple days old because it tends to firm up like cheese when left alone for longer than that). If you have no issues with something that's somewhat pungent (hey, goat's milk does have a unique scent that's not for everyone) and eating basically cheesy butter, if you come to crete, try to source a bit from a cheese seller.

I'm from UK, each individual element has to be great for me. Fresh baked scones, not store bought or day old scones or overbaked ones. A good quality jam, home made if possible, with lots of fruit in. Fresh clotted cream, not out of a jar. I grew up with really good cream teas, not some of the excuses of one that some places sell today. If you are traveling to UK, do your research first, there are still places that do a fantastic cream tea.( usually very busy) I have had the jam and cream just great, then the scone like a hockey puck!

[@ruthm4749]

Oh it looks so lovely. I used to pasteurized our milk back ,40 years ago, when we lived on a farm in Honeoye NY. My husband would bring a pail of milk fresh from the cooler, I'd set the pail into a pasteurized and turn the button, it cooked the milk at just the right temperature, then I'd set the pail into the fridge overnight. In the morning there would be a 3inch layer of thick cream on top. I'd whip that into butter with my electric mixer. So yummy.

[@shellbellexx3]

I’ve never had clotted cream but it looks so lovely. I really want to try it. I wonder why it’s not big over here in the US. This was such a fun episode and the two ladies Claudia interviewed were so much fun. I imagine their cream tastes amazing as they seem to really put a lot of care and time into their product. I hope they have fared well through the pandemic.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

Ive only had it a few times it was lovely. Like a very lightly whipped butter mixed with whipped cream. Its quite hard to describe actually. I've thought about making a batch here as I can get raw cream from a local dairy. It makes a lovely cultured butter.

What Most People Don’t Realise is Fresh Cows Milk Tastes Completely Different to How it Tastes Today the Whole Pasteurising Process Changes the Taste, Smell & Texture well Viscosity...

[@alexnewman1003]

Yeah while that's true, your implying that pasteurization is bad thing which it isn't. Pasteurization is where milk is heated to high temperatures to kill off/steralize harmful bacteria lurking in the milk. Without this milk would be pretty dangerous to drink regularly like we do in society today.

Because it is mostly fat and sugar - of course it tastes good. Jam has normally 50-70% sugar (not to be confused with added sugar which is often "just" 25-50%). Clotted cream has 55-75% fat. So in combination it is not the healthiest food really

I know British cuisine has the reputation of being bland and lacking spices, but it's dishes like this that show how delicious simple things can be if you use quality ingredients.

[@markylon]

British food is subtle and the most delicate flavours, Sadly cultures that have lots of spice and chilli means your tastes have been destroyed and you can't taste subtle flavours anymore. It's a bit like someone who has 4 sugars in their tea, finds tea with no sugar disgusting. But over time, you can retrain your tastes to enjoy tea without sugar. I have Asian friends who say our food tastes of nothing, but they are sadly missing out, because they have lost the ability to taste delicious food that's natural and subtle. I feel sorry for them.

They were developed in Britain using Indian spices for the British pallet. Curries like chicken tikka masala are full of spices, people just don't realise that it is a British dish. Because of their history of Colonialism, the British culinary identity is inherently strongly influenced by the wider world. As a result it is really hard to point to very many interesting dishes that are purely "British" but that does not mean that the British don't do interesting spiced food.

Jam first, then cream, because the jam can soak in to the scone and kind of ‘stick’ and then the clotted cream sits on top. If you do it the other way the jam tries to just slide off the clotted cream. Extra bonus points - put some fresh berries on top of the clotted cream to match your jam. Just like 3-5 raspberries or a sliced strawberry or two, not a heaping pile. Adds a nice contrast.

Fake news! Cream first all the way 🤪 can attest that rubbish about the jam sliding off is nonsense - the cream is taking the place of regular butter. (Guess which county I grew up in...)

[@TrappedinSLC]

@@StuartCuthbertson I have experimented with both arrangements, since being from the US I have no bias. 😝🤣

[@scottread]

Um, if your jam is "soaking" into anything, then i'm afraid whatever you're using isn't jam. Are you sure you're not talking about fruit cordial? Ribena perhaps?

[@TrappedinSLC]

@@scottread Jam gets into nooks and crannies in a way that clotted cream does not. It acts kind of as a glue, what with the whole sugar content thing. If your jam just sits on top without settling at all, I suggest you stop using a gelatin-based product as jam.

@@StuartCuthbertson jam first if you put proper clotted cream on from Cornwall the cream will go squidgy if you then put jam on top also we say jam and cream not cream and jam

[@m.theresa1385]

I make it at home too. I use both the microwave method and the oven method, with the microwave method being done most frequently. Yum!

[@xXKuroXx100]

@@m.theresa1385 Wuh please shed your wisdom. 🙏 I’ve seen recipes for the oven, but never a microwave.

[@jenuinely_]

So delicious! As others have said, you can make it at home using the oven method but it takes a loooot of cream. Another thing I tried in Devon was ice cream with clotted cream on top. I still think about it now 😍😍😍

[@susannahbaringtait1257]

Many decades ago (circa 1960) I used to go gliding at Dunkeswell, Devon, and always came via Honiton where I would stop at the Honiton Dairy for freshly made ice-cream, made from the milk of the Devon cow. It had its own very specific and delicious taste. Some years later, after returning from working abroad, I took a colleague with me to visit the area. Previously, I had been going on about this ice-cream so much to her that she was really looking forward to having some. I was worried that the dairy may no longer exist. Not only was it still in operation and still making the same ice-cream, but now it also added a huge scoop of clotted cream on top. Heaven, indeed! And I still think about and can 'taste' it, too. I wonder if it's still there.

[@williamwilson6499]

I lived in North Yorkshire for five years…can’t even describe how much I want a pot of tea, two scones, and plenty of clotted cream and strawberry jam.

[@HydroSnips]

Ha, I was just there this week. Lovely stuff, also if ever you’re in Cornwall try the clotted cream flavour ice cream from any one of Cornwall’s independent dairy/ice cream farms. Recommend the Moo-Maid of Zennon, S. Jelberts of Newlyn or Roskillys nr Coverack on the Lizard. (no, I don’t work for any of them, just a fan!).

[@jhinandtonic2671]

I just love these videos

[@christinabridgeman3859]

It's the most delicious treat. So good.

[@OofusTwillip]

Episode 9 of "The Edwardian Farm" shows the truly "classic" way of making clotted cream by hand, by slowly warming it on the stove. When it's done, you skim off the crust, and pile it into a crystal bowl, in layers. This episode also shows an unsweetened alternative to scones. This makes the cream & jam taste even better.

[@tthappyrock368]

Oh, I would love to try this! I don't think I have ever seen clotted cream in the US. It looks devine!

[@lucylane7397]

American cream isn’t rich enough as your cows are usually not grass fed

I live abroad and my supermarket sells it, but it's quite expensive, so it's a rare treat.

[@flameshadowwolf5387]

I tried making it before and it’s honestly just like butter without that kinda salty “buttery” taste. Basically just solid heavy cream as a product

[@radicalpaddyo]

But that's why it's good.... Got to admit though, it never works out good for me when I make it, always too dark

[@flameshadowwolf5387]

@@radicalpaddyo maybe a longer cook time at a lower temp? Or you could try covering it with aluminum foil when it gets too dark

Hello how are you doing?

[@vivienreinhart4518]

I think I would put the cream first because in my mind it works kind of like butter,which you also put first.

[@sailorarwen6101]

To me it makes more sense to put on the thing that’s harder to spread first so I would agree with you

[@bustedkeaton]

[@krisrobinson7999]

Love to try it I've heard so many mixed descriptions of what it tastes like. Anything with lots of dairy fat has to be good🤤

[@Ater_Draco]

It tastes like exceptionally rich, buttery cream

[@TrappedinSLC]

Less milky cream, basically. There’s a tiny bit of a buttery taste to the crust but if you try it expecting butter you’ll be confused. It’s sort of soft butter texture but whipping cream flavor? But richer than whipping cream because there’s less milk/water content. Sometimes people think they can substitute butter and no, no you cannot. You also can’t substitute sour cream or any kind of soft cheese, or whipped cream, or Greek yogurt, all of which I have seen people try. Plain whipped cream is probably the closest out of those but still not right.

[@deborahfraser9325]

I first had clotted cream at a tea in Yorkshire 40 years ago. To die for! I've used the Food Wishes recipe for clotted cream and it works great. Add the scone recipe from King Arthur flour (on their baking website) and a good French strawberry jam...wow! Was that good. Yum. Alas, such indulgences are rare otherwise I would not be able to fit in any of my clothes. But what a treat!

[@WraythSkitzofrenik]

That looks so good

[@fagnello]

Cream before the jam because the cream is harder to spread on top, whereas you can just dollop the jam on the cream, it’s much less faffing about.

[@greenteagod]

Jam first, the Cornish way, always. You don't need to spread the cream, scoop and go.

[@andrewlawson4901]
