Success, and very happy with the end result. I just took out a small corner and poured the runny stuff off into a cup, then wacked it into an airtight container and back in the 'fridge with it.

A 500ml jar yielded 280 gm clotted cream.

Now to try and find out how to make some scones ;)

Paul Hollywood's scone recipe is very good. Scones are very easy to make, just don't overwork the dough. A light touch, don't twist the cutter when cutting out and just apply egg wash to the top.

I can help there, I make batch after batch at work.

450g all purpose flour
tsp salt
135g butter
1 rounded tbsp baking powder

Use a pastry blender to bread crumb add dried fruit etc if you wish.

add 250ml milk and one egg, bring together to combine

tip out onto worktop and roll out, fold edges in and roll, fold top and bottom and roll (a bit like doing rough puff pastry) make a 8inch round.
Egg wash

cut into 8 triangles and bake at 400 for 20 mins.

But not available everywhere and pretty costly. Getting on for $13 for 170g.
Clotted cream is advertised on Amazon but all attempts to get some have failed to arrive. Sniffer dogs I expect. :lol:

Has anyone tried Puck?

Found it by accident in the cream cheese section.
Although there is a cheese version, this isn't it. It's just labelled as creamy dairy spread and no cheese listed in ingredients.
Similar price but 500g so it works out a third of the Devon one.

It's obviously not as good - especially tasting it on its own, so don't do that - but I tried it with jam on a croissant and it wasn't bad. But if it's ages since you had a 'cream tea' you might fancy it.

Funnily enough I found it while looking for cream cheese to go with smoked salmon for croissants and I think it went better with that than the usual cream cheese. So even if you're not keen, all is not lost.
Unless you don't like smoked salmon and cream cheese in a croissant. :lol:

I just got my SD to make some scones so I can try it with that. :thumbup:

And it works quite well.
