i was reading about scones one day, viewing pages of various temptingly plated scones, and in general, making myself very hungry, when i came across a scone that was to be served with dollops of 'clotted cream'....
CLOTTED CREAM? wth is clotted cream?! i have no idea, but i do know this much, I WANT some! okay, so i google 'clotted cream', and i learn that it is 'a thick cream made by heating milk slowly and then allowing it to cool while the cream content rises to the top in coagulated clumps.' ....but, it is CLOTTED CREAM, and i still WANT some! by now i know that i have once again fallen for a food by the look and/or sound of its name...but i am hooked on the thing, and i must follow it through to the end. i must have a taste of this clotted cream--hopefully atop of a homemade scone spread with some blueberry or cherry fruit, yumm....
have any of you made or tasted a clotted cream from a recipe that you would recommend? in general, do you use clotted cream anywhere that whipped cream is called for? are there different flavorings that get added to 'plain' clotted cream, like lemon or vanilla? is clotted cream ever used
with savory dishes, like on a piece of fish, or an omelet?
i'd love to hear from you, really...
