"Devonshire Cream Tea"

Clotted or "scald" cream has been made in Devon for generations. Legend states that Devonshire people were taught the art of cream making by the pixies. Make the cream the day before and serve with scones or Devonshire/Cornish style, where the jam is under the cream, is followed.

To make the cream mix 275 ml of double cream with 1.5 litres of milk and pour into a wide, shallow pan. Cover and leave to stand in a cool place (NOT a refrigerator) for a few hours until the cream has risen to the surface.

Transfer the pan very gently to the stove so that the layer of cream is not disturbed or broken up. Keep on the lowest possible heat for about an hour, until the surface becomes encrusted with a rich, golden top.

Carefully remove from the heat. Cover and leave to stand overnight in a cool place to set. Using a slotted spoon, skim off into a dish. The remaining milk can be used for cooking.
