When you don’t have the time to make proper Clotted Cream, I give you permission to cheat with, Cheats Clotted Cream!
If you have ever enjoyed a proper afternoon tea, then more than likely you were treated to a buttery cream to dollop on your tasty scone. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of sipping a cup of hot tea while extending your little pinky finger, here’s your chance.
First you should try making these Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Scones using either an Amish Friendship Starter or buttermilk. Next, let’s go make this super easy Cheats Clotted Cream, recipe below, Â followed by brewing a soothing pot or cup of hot tea. Coffee will do in a pinch, but for the complete British experience (shy of flying there) let’s get that tea made. Now for one last thing, when drinking your tea out of a dainty cup, do not forget to extend that pinky finger, it’s just not the same if you ignore this bit. And there you have it, a crash course in an afternoon tea.
The real deal Clotted Cream is a beautiful thing and well worth making, and a treat that I will one day share with you. 😉 For now, I do hope that you enjoy your cuppa tea and oh so tasty scones slathered with this silky, thick and just slightly sweetened Cheats Clotted Cream.
