Clotted cream<br />
Clotted Cream is a delicious complement to scones. It is mainly associated with<br />
the south west of England and the counties of Cornwall and Devon in particular.<br />
It enjoys protected food status once the product originates in Cornwall.<br />
WHAT YOU WILL NEED<br />
4 cups heavy whipping cream<br />
Preheat oven to 100C/200F<br />
Let?s get started<br />
Pour the cream into a heavy<br />
bottomed over proof shallow<br />
container.<br />
Put it in the oven for 8-10 hours or<br />
overnight. When ready, a thick<br />
golden crust will have formed on top<br />
of the cream.<br />
Remove from the oven and allow to<br />
stand in a cool place for 10-12 hours.<br />
Remove the golden top part with a<br />
slatted spoon and gently stir to create<br />
clotted cream. Don?t agitate the<br />
mixture or it will start recombining<br />
with the liquid beneath.<br />
Put it into a tightly sealed container<br />
and place in the refrigerator to let it<br />
settle for 2-3 hours.<br />
Clotted cream will last for 3-4 days in<br />
a refrigerator. You can use the left<br />
over liquid to make bread or scones.<br />
To serve<br />
Clotted Cream is delicious when<br />
served with warm scones and jam.<br />
Doris Day was a celebrated<br />
American-born actress, singer and animal<br />
rights activist, who died in 1973. Her<br />
talents stretched across musicals and<br />
drama and she starred alongside film<br />
legends such as James Cagney and James<br />
Stewart. She had a wonderful singing<br />
voice and here she sings of finding<br />
happiness in spending time and drinking<br />
tea with a loved one! For a bit of escapism,<br />
check out her sparkling performance in<br />
the movie, Calamity Jane!<br />
Ask the expert?<br />
I love making meringues but I<br />
hate the way they weep when<br />
baked. What causes this?<br />
Meringues will weep for two main<br />
reasons: you have added the sugar too<br />
quickly or you have added too much<br />
sugar in one go. Always add the sugar<br />
gradually in small amounts and let it<br />
mix through. 10
