  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 175 to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
  2. 2 Pour cream into a shallow glass or ceramic baking dish (an 8- or 9-inch square pan is ideal). Cream should be about 1 ½ to 2 inches deep.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 12 hours. Do not stir. Carefully remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, 8 hours to overnight.
  4. 4 Push aside a corner of the top layer of thickened cream.
  5. 5 Carefully pour liquid into a bowl or container; keep this chilled and use it in your favorite scone recipe (which will go perfectly with the clotted cream).
  6. 6 Pack thickened (clotted) cream into a ceramic crock or canning jar. Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Instructions

  1. 1 Line a large colander or sieve with 4 layers of cheesecloth. Set aside.
  2. 2 Heat milk, buttermilk, heavy cream, and salt in a large, heavy, nonreactive saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally for the first 10 minutes. Continue heating, without stirring, until the temperature reaches 190 degrees F. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour. The mixture will be separated into white curds and clear whey.
  3. 3 Using a slotted spoon, ladle approximately 1/4 of the curds into the cheesecloth-lined colander. Gather up the corners of the top cheesecloth and secure closed with a zip tie. Repeat with the rest of the curds, cheesecloth, and zip ties. Use the last zip tie to thread all of the cheeses together. Suspend the cheeses over a large wooden spoon over a large bowl, and let drain for 2 hours.
  4. 4 Place the four cheeses, still in cloth, in a bowl in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, cut zip ties, and transfer cheese to an airtight container.
